I would like to see Zayak rule relaxed for a second jump (triple or higher). Maybe more than 2 kinds of triples or quads can be repeated if included as a second jump. E.g. It'll be so cool to see 3A as a second jump such as Hanyu's 3A+3A, without him sacrificing points.
It's been brought up frequently enough that combos are not adequately recognized and rewarded. I feel the current GOE awarded really shortchange jump combos. Essentially the GOE values are assigned according to the first jump without any additional consideration for the subsequent jump(s) which can however actually decrease the GOE rewarded if not executed as well as the first jump. A skater can easily receive less marks for doing more.
Hurrah, anybody can use that "loophole" if they want or could. It wasn't created for Chan, and somebody else, probably Hanyu, could be even more creative to make even better use of it. I don't see what the problem is. Rather, I'm very surprised no one else took advantage of the new rule last season and then this season Rippon seems to be the only other skater doing the new combo.
