Furthermore, this was extensively addressed when ARRL proposed it less than a year ago. Even hard core narrow bandwidth people don’t want to stifle technology, so the counter proposal was to give wideband part of the SSB sections or equal amounts from upper CW/Data and SSB. Of course ARRL, the people who brought you the disastrous Parity Act would have nothing to do with this.
