My reasoning for preferring the slipperiness option:
The current santa physics is faster in some races like Candyland and Newbie Train, as the freezing of the arrow blocks (and vanish blocks for Newbie Train) allows you to beat the level a tiny bit faster.
Likewise, the old santa physics is faster in other races like Mario Bros Remix/Speed where there's a part you have to go down some vanish blocks.
Reverting it would also invalidate a lot of speedruns done with the current santa physics, so maybe a compromise can alleviate both sides.
