The problem here is that if the FCC drops Morse Code, they won't be able require CW be used for this purpose. You'll also have folks that are adamant against having to learn Morse Code for this purpose.
Also, I usually don't listen to the frequency, the waterfall suffices for that. Recognizing a QRL in CW may not work well in this situation.
