Uh, we do. It's called the North American QSO Party (NAQP). 

NAQP also includes two much-sought-after SS rule changes: a) it's shorter 
(12 hours), and b) you can work everyone on every band.

Best yet, you don't have to wait an entire year to enjoy NAQP -- it 
happens twice each year, once in January, once in August for CW and 
Phone. There's also a RTTY NAQP, too. 

I say, don't change SS. Instead, operate NAQP as well.
