No, 100 wpm is not a new standard for some folks.

Once a year there is a 4-hour contest where everyone shifts to 75 baud, 
100 wpm to operate. That contest ran today, from 1700z to 2100z. At 
2101z everyone has shifted back to 45.45 baud and 60 wpm.

I have not heard anyone using 75 baud, w100 wpm outside this 4-hour 
contest sponsored by the BARTG club each year.
