The system makes no sense. We don't need another division unless the other ones are getting worked on as well.
You cannot compare D1 to D7. D1 has a hell of a lot of room for improvement and has been proven time and time again to accelerate people in their improvement. pmonibuv went from D1 to D5 over the course of one tournament. D7 there's a point where people are just not physically capable anymore of keeping up with some of the stuff now a days.

Different note for those mentioning cumulative:
The reason I bring up cumulative for D8 is because the files are so close in difficulty to one another yet push different skillsets. So someone may screw up round 1 but make it up in round 2 merely because it played better to their strengths and with so few people it made more sense to me to keep them competing against one another throughout rather than dropping off one by one.

Edit: Someone said something about extending prizes down further in D7, if we're going to do that we may as well have the D8 and find some kind of good exclusive for them.
