Only partly, John. Packet helps two people; the running station who gets 
assistance in getting his CQ heard by a lot more people, as you have 
described, and the S&Ping station who gets assistance in finding new 
contacts and multipliers without looking for them himself. Your suggestion 
could help ensure unassisted CQing, but does nothing to ensure unassisted 
S&Ping.

The genie is out of the bottle and I don't think there is anything we can 
do to put it back.
