As far as Nynaeve goes, I can understand why they made her take the Oaths, although I don't agree. I agree with Watcher that it was really the test she shouldn't have had to take. Franky, I find it kind of a useless test to begin with.
Or at least her reaction to the aftermath ... I loved that she told them to stick a sock in AS Calm in that scene

Nynaeve should not have been made to swear the Oaths

Personally, I think it would have been a brillaint twist if Nyneave didn't become Aes Sedai *NM*

she shouldn't have, although I think they should trash the oaths in general

I agree about the test, kind of. The Oaths was going too far.

It's supposed to be a required part of being Aes Sedai.

On the contrary, being Aes Sedai means she had to swear the Oaths.

They believe Oaths necessary, thus an Aes Sedai refusing sets herself apart from and above the rest.

From the standpoint of actually changing Tower rules and traditions I agree with you.
