Could you support making the No-code license one year non-renewable?

Code is dead - along with anything else that requires skill, practice,
or a little bit of effort.
The folks who want to do away with code should at least learn it and
try it - they might find it to be (gasp) enjoyable. Personally, I could
support doing away with no-code licensing altogether. I realize it
won't happen, but I gotta think that if I managed to learn Morse code,
then so can "they". The only thing no-code licensing accomplished in
this neck of the woods was to move the CB mentality from 11 to 2 meters.
There is no arguing that. KB9RQZ is living proof.
