There was just that argument (p. 11):

"34. ARRL states that it is possible to have multiple CW and/or PSK31 
communications ongoing simultaneously within the 2.8 kHz channel, so 
long as those simultaneous communications are not limited to the channel 
centers."

But the prevailing one was:

"36. We adopt the center frequency requirement as proposed in the NPRM. 
Because the amateur service operates in the 60 meter band on a secondary 
basis, we pay particular attention to NTIA’s position
and the interests of Federal agencies that have primary status in the band."

But at least there is now cw!  73,
