I assume SFWA made the one-per-year rule in order to keep Grand Master status as a pretty exclusive group, but they could change it. One option might be to having year in which several people are named in order to catch up with the "backlog," then going back one per year until they again see the need for a bigger batch. But opening it up like that could lead to increased complaints about those not chosen. Under the current system, they have the perfect excuse for exclusions with the "we can only add on per year" policy.
