I am unconvinced that there aren't smaller potential paradigm shifts that could be made. However...There already has been a paradigm shift. University students ("college" for you 'merkins) use facebook, myspace (less now, thankfully!) and IMs as their primary online communication method. A number of students at my university use email purely because the university uses it for internal systems and communication, and use the above for everything else. I think you'll find that "we" are the paradigm shift that needs to happen. The younger people have already moved on. :)
I believe this is functionally equivalent to the "block 25 and consider SMTP dead" FUSSP. It's worth noting that each "newer" system is being systematically attacked as well. It isn't really a solution, it's just changing problem platforms. The abuse remains. ...
