I had the privilege(?) of watching a team earlier in the year that had a snapper that tended to "hang" the snap in the air when in the shotgun formation. Additionally, the rest of the line was pathetic and there was often a DL wrapping up the QB just as he was receiving the snap.

At least a couple times, the DL could have taken the snap from the air if he had played the ball instead of the QB. With your rule change, when would the snap end if this were to happen? Or is it encroachment or an illegal snap?
