I have seen people proposing going entirely to voluntary band plans for HF
instead of regulated splits ala Europe and thus making all modes legal
throughout the entire band.

I'm an enthusiastic user of CW, but I fully support such a plan. Let "market
forces" and usage-centric gentlemens agreements determine band usage.

Morse users currently can use that mode on literally all the amateur-allocated
frequencies with the exception of the five channels on 5Mhz. On a "larger" CW
contest weekend they could (perfectly legally) use any frequency (that was not
occupied) for CW contesting.

Why should CW be alone in such a generous allocation?
