[CQ-Contest] Assisted Low Power?

Okay, we've heard from some big contesters and others who would like
to keep Assisted and UN-assisted separate in most contests.

BUT what about the low power guys?  It is ridiculous for someone like
me to go low power and assisted in a major contest - because 
there is NO official category for low power assisted.

Instead, all the assisted people get lumped together.  Who is going
to win that category?  The guys with power and big antennas will
certainly maul the guy with 100 watts and few antennas.

Mind you, I don't want to see more categories - I want less.  But if so many people
heatedly object to just one single op category, then why discriminate against
the low power op that wants to use spots?
