My favorite scenario at this point would be to add the amateur allocation at
136, and do two things at 160-190:

1. Drop the "including transmission line" requirement, allowing transmitter
PA stages to be nearer to the people running them.

2. Make it one watt output power into the antenna. This would represent
almost no change for high-efficiency PA operators, but would allow others to
run linear amplifiers and get the one watt. This would permit more equal
footing for modes that get crunched by non-linear amps.
