Which means that 160, 10, 220 and all above 432 would no longer be
available for the use of SSB, DSB, AM, FM, RTTY, AMTOR, PACTOR, SSTV,
TV, PSK31, and CW. Plus considerable segments of the rest of the
amateur bands would lose those modes as well. Not by voluntarily
abandonment of old modes but by law.


Exactly. The point of the exercise is to precipitate a "crisis" or a
"challenge" similar to the "200-meters-and-down" event which is widely
claimed as the catalyst which launched the "golden age" of amateur
radio advancement.

Only this crisis would leave some residual segments for those not
inclined to accept the challenge.
