Also, it was pushed out quickly (with an agreement that it would be discussed later) because SGDQ submissions were looming when Crowsadilla discovered it and those who were submitting (me) needed some kind of verdict on if it was acceptable or not.

I think Q/C has its place for sure to see just how low the IGT can get, but I agree I'd like to see it separated from the main any% category. I agree with what Wuss says about how it resets the timer and that it might open a slippery slope discussion about doing timer manipulation stuff with other parts in the game. That would be fine in its own category, but I do think it needs to be filtered out of the main any% category.
