Great! Very nice!

That's not the point. The point is that the contest exchange, as currently written in the contest rules, is RS(T) report and serial number. I'm going to guess that stations like 8P1A, P49Y, P40A, 6Y1V, PJ2T, 5D5A, CQ95F, etc., also had huge pileups from time to time. But they always sent the report with the number.
Maybe 99.999999% of the reports are 59....fine. If someone wants to do away with redundant 59s then lobby for that (in another thread please....) No problem there. That's not the point of this discussion.
