It wasn't so bad leaving my mobile phone accidentally at home yesterday. I felt... quite free...

I don't know who started it but it's quite wierd. As we all know, the method of performing the Witr prayers differs slightly between the Shafiie and Hanafi mazhhabs.
During Ramadhan, a strange sight occurs in some mosques. If in a Shafiie mosque, after the terawih prayers are done, the Imam leads the congregation to perform the witr (2 + 1 raka'ats).
But a small group of folks will scurry to the back of the mosque to be led by another Imam to perform the Hanafi-style witr (3 raka'ats in one go)! So there will be two congregations in the same mosque for the same prayer!
I understand the perspective of each school of thought. Both styles are correct. But for the sake of earning more rewards during Ramadhan, why not just do one single style with the entire congregation and go home? If in a Shafiie mosque, just follow the 2 + 1 witr and if in a Hanafi-based mosque, follow the 3 rak'at one lah. Cannot meh? It's quite intuitive to me...
