If they changed it and, again, I'm not suggesting they would or should, I would assume they would start a new set of records.
Agreed. Even though it's possible to break the WR on a 5 move scramble, it would put the past and future on two completely different footings. Even so, I don't particularly like that solution either, as then it makes the WCA record history needlessly complicated. It could be a fun trivia fact in 10 years though. (I recognize that you are not necessarily endorsing such a change, I'm just adding my opinion to the discussion)
