Basically use raw scoring or something similar right?
I'm not even sure this point needs to be argued anymore, I think by now people who are being rational about it realize how terrible combo scoring is for leader boards, and for representing one's skill on a file. Just don't expect it to show up any time soon, as great as it would be.
As far as CP goes, it should probably be moved to token ranks at the very least. As has already been established, it is an extremely easy file, with only one real difficult section, which can be easily attacked with double setup if one pleases. On top of that with combo scoring, pretty much making any non FC score complete shit, and the fact that so many others have FC'd in a similar fashion, one could easily squeeze their way into the leader boards without a bat of an eye.
Even with the transition into raw score, the trill could be scored on extremely well with DS (to the point of a potential AAA if lucky enough). Frankly, I think we'd have to police the living shit out of that file to ensure everyone wasn't just cheating that particular section (probably with video proof or something, since people could probably pass as legit through replay analysis alone if they don't do some crazy 1 frame / 0 frame crap). It wouldn't really be feasible anyway, since not everyone has the video recording tools necessary.
At least as a token file people will not be so tempted to DS, and if they do, at least it won't be on a public file (since people seem to care about public ranks way more than token ones).
