Perhaps it's worth another try at offering a solution....this battle has become the 100 Years War.

Instead of "Multi" classifications, consider treating entries involving more than one operator as a "Team".

In a Team entrant, each operator signs his or her own callsign for all Qs. The Team score is computed by adding up all the scores of the members of the Team. Basically use the same rules as before, but require each operator to use his or her personal callsign as a member of the Team.

This would likely make more Qs available to other contesters. More callsigns on the air. It would also probably be more fun and challenging for the Team operators. Each of them gets to collect their own mults et al, and not be as likely to experience endless CQing as the contest progresses and the Team "station" has been worked by most everybody.

So M/M Distributed would simply be a Distributed Team entrant. Teams could use their creativity to organize and use Teamwork. Perhaps they coordinate to help other members score. And there would be more callsigns available for others to work.
