For added clarity this is the camp I am in as well. I would say it should work like this:

- Legacy files removed from public level ranks, thus no longer affecting average rank. This is especially important because legacy files have a ridiculous relative rank weight to them compared to newer releases. A file from a few years ago you never played might land you rank 1k, a random legacy file will usually have you at 100k+ on the easier difficulty ones. They dominate the bottom of your ranks and are the ones you have to gravitate towards to see significant change.

- Legacy files removed from tier points, as they should not be a requirement. This rewards whoring offsync files for AAA bonuses and trying to get good at awful content.

- All legacy scores and ranks remain, but on a separate stat page that is more tucked away so as not to make players think it's a thing they should bother with.

- Legacy files with proper difficulty rankings still working on the global leaderboard's skill ranking. If a top 10 player score is somehow a legacy file, we should allow them to keep that. As skill rating doesn't force people to play all songs, merely just deal with their 10 best scores, this shouldn't be an issue.
