This idea is interesting. However, based on the
screaming and yelling on this and other reflectors
concerning much less drastic changes to VHF contests,
I can't imagine this being supported by the VHF+
community.
On the other hand, the FD rules provide a tool
to do more with VHF during FD. Specifically:
Rule 4.1.2. Any Class A group whose entry category is two
or more transmitters may also operate one additional transmitter
if it operates exclusively on any bands or combination of bands
above 50 MHz (VHF/UHF) without changing its basic entry classification.

This is probably more of an opportunity to expose new people
to what can be done on VHF, rather than be a "real" VHF contest.
For me personally, this just leads back to the "I'm wore out
from the June VHF contest" problem.
