PolandWasn't the point of Current/Legacy sub-categories to separate runs done on new and old versions?
Not sure if letting runners decide about the categories is a good idea. What if people will decide to keep the old categories? Nothing will change and leaderboards still will be a mess.
Also, I don't really understand what do you mean by "discrepancy".
Discrepancies could refer to all invalid runs that were approved by old mods as 9Withers said and were not deleted to this day.
Instead of making Current and Legacy subcategories, you could do something similar to what Hello Neighbor mod team did. After changing rules for Alpha 3, they renamed the old leaderboards, "closed" them and made new ones for the new ruleset.

Probably not the best idea as it requires a lot of work but it's better than deleting invalid runs after a long time or leaving them in the leaderboards.
(also Game Rules still mention Death% which has been deleted for some time now)
Order%/Any%/Fulfill% is a good idea for a category, way better than All Jobs as All Jobs requires a semi-complicated setup. All Jobs itself could be split to Current and Legacy or be revamped, as WR is possibly unbeatable without a new strat being discovered.
2 Player could be changed into Co-op and could be split by number of players however I don't know if this would be practical.
Single Job has an issue, where some WRs are unbeatable. As an example:
- Zangoose's 283ms Pizza Boxer run was done on Legacy, where less input per box is required. That causes the run to be humanly impossible to beat on Current.
- tlak's 8.333 Supplier Gear may also be unbeatable as it uses a now patched glitch.
Not even talking about Delivery (Gear/Gearless) which is now a competition who does the vehicle warp faster.
Despite that I don't think removing Single Job completely is a solution. A revamp is a better idea but I'm not sure how this category could be improved. (except finally updating the rules which have not been changed by the mod team for a long time)
are IL ending runs compiled into one video allowed? game rules are kind of confusing and I have no idea whether it refers to full game or the game in general.
if it's not allowed, is there an exact reason why?
