...until you get to 145 up/432 dn, 437 up/144 dn, etc.
The concept of a band is to quickly describe a range of frequencies so you know what antenna to use (or similar).

Count me in STRONGLY for FREQUENCY, not even meters and centimeters. My radio front panel reads in MHZ, not meters or centimeters. And absolutely none of the alphabet soup.

AMSAT can officially use one thing in publications (and has I've stated, generally adheres to that - with possible exception of the monikers for the less well known C/X band combination), but getting an entire community of amateurs to use consistent terminology is not likely to happen.
They really won't if AMSAT itself cannot seem to decide. Read the report in the current Journal about the Dayton Forum and see how much of it is old-style modes and how much is the new, preferred (at least by the guy that came up with it!) notation.
Again, I am arguing (and I am arguing!) in favor of one, consistent notation. Because "U/v, or UV, 70 cm up, 2 down, you know, the old Mode B" really sounds kind of silly.
Remember, if you google "amsat mode", the first link (here, at least, YMMV) is a 20+ year old FAQ that uses the old mode names ... Just sayin'.
Seems like we ought to have ONE notation that means ONE thing.
