Question about new boss randomization

Hello! I'm making this thread because I wanted to ask a question about how the new version of the Randomizer with the randomized bosses would possibly affect the leaderboards here.

For context, a few weeks back the Geno Randomizer got updated to version 0.6.1, which adds an option to also include Undyne the Undying and Sans into the encounter pool. And while that is quite a nice option in my opinion, since it adds up to the fun and difficulty of the randomizer, it also made me think about how this option would be inevitably slower for speedruns in the leaderboards compared to runs in older versions or with said option toggled off, due to how long Undyne and Sans take be defeated compared to other random encounters.

So my question is, will there be a leaderboard split/new category added to differentiate between runs that allow Undyne and Sans to be randomized and those that don't, or will all runs still be kept under the same leaderboards regardless of the bosses being randomized or not?

In my opinion either splitting the leaderboards or making a new category would be a better solution, since not only would it prevent people from feeling discouraged to use the boss randomization option just because of Sans and Undyne being unavoidable timeloss when you get them randomly, but also it would allow people who already ran in older versions/without the randomized bosses to run with them on, too, as a separate speedrun, but I guess it's fine if that's not the case in the end, and obviously, it's up for the leaderboard mods to decide what they think is better to do. But that's my argument on why I think a leaderboard split for both options would be better.

I look forward to a response. Thanks! :)
