Not sure what you guys are complaining about.  cw is and always has been
legal everywhere on the bands, phone bands, digital, everywhere.  Now, the
claim has always been it could get through under adverse conditions, and
you can run extremely narrow filtering, why is this a problem.  The
digital modes have been made legal on the cw bands for a long long time,
so I really don't see any great changes.  Also, if you read the present
proposal, I don't see any changes as far as phone band expansion or
anything like that.  I personally have thought digital modes should have
been made legal everywhere just as cw has always been.  Back when I was
experimenting with amtor, it would have made life much simpler.  Just
because the requirement is dropped, doesn't mean the mode is illegal or
that the bands are going away.
