Actually digital bandwidth limit under this NPRM drops from unmlimited
(except for frequency band edge limits) to 2.8 KHz.

Yes, there will be reliance on gentlemen's agreements to keep wide digital
out of the traditional cw segments. With most of the rest of the world
being allocated the entire band by their version of FCC, with NO mode
restrictions, and with flex-use of 160M, as well as RTTY vs cw and wide
digital on contest weekends proving very workable among USA and world
amateurs, I think this will be easy to achieve.

Who benefits?  In my opinion, experimenters, and users of hi-baud data
modes such as the Winlink users and emcomm people you pointed out.

For me the interesting and worthwhile question is, "Is 2.8 KHz the best
bandwidth limit choice"?  There are good arguments both for increasing and
decreasing that limit.
