Going to have to agree with the general sentiments of the two TJs.

Sweepstakes is unique, steeped in tradition, and a contest where you must 
actually listen.

If you want a pure rate/mult fest, operate the NAQP.

Well stated by my son, N5TJ.

One could perhaps  say the same to those wanting to change the long-established 
CQ WW DX Contest by dumbing it down by merging Single Operator and Single 
Operator (Assisted).

Agree, SS is a one of a kind contest with a rich history. No reason to change 
it, there are plenty of other contests for those that prefer a different format.
