Such a fundamental change to SS would not be an update, but a completely different contest that happens to have the same name.

No.  

Tweaking SS rules is one thing.  Fundamentally changing the contest, the nature of it, the strategy as to what bands to work and when, the things that make SS unique... no.

Wouldn't a DX contest be really fun if you could only work a DX station only once and not on multiple bands? NOT!!! That pretty much sums up what I think about the current Sweepstakes rules.
I'm not sure why anyone would have a contest that allows you to work multiple bands that the rules allow only one contact. Maybe way back in the  the early 1900's when SS started there was some advantage to this but it's antiquated in today's contesting world. We have all this technology and we still have a rule that's 80 years old?? Come on ARRL and get with the program.  Let everyone work everyone on every band and enjoy Rate Rate Rate!!!
