Do you run  the risk of having participation certificates when there are too
many  categories ? 

Does that really find the best contesters ?   Personally I don't like 
cluster
use (old school) but if the rules to  qualify are such then maybe I need to
re-address my stance if I want to  qualify. 

I still find it odd in many years I cannot recall an assisted  score beating
unassisted in a major contest. (CQWW  CQWPX)

If they're so useless, why then does CQ recognise the value of  having
separate categories.  It's worth taking a look  at
http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=cw - showing the calculated raw scores  for
CQWW CW 2014.

There are 46 categories listed, and that's without  including the Classic 
and
Rookie sub-categories. Is anyone  complaining?

There are many reasons why CQWW is the world's most  popular contest, and 
the
number of categories is one of them.

This  "useless discussion" is unlikely to go away, and it would be helpful 
if
the  WRTC2018 Committee members reconsidered their unanimous decision  to
eliminate unassisted categories.
They might all be  mistaken.
