I'll support the classification of Workout Routines according to how they're classified in-game.

I wholly oppose any effort to do this to all songs, including those not included in JD4's Workout Mode. For one thing, it would become arbitrary very fast since we'd have little guidelines to go on (and Ubisoft don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to rating their own songs by difficulty. There are plenty of songs that were originally rated Hard that were re-rated as Easy once they were added to JDN), for another, no clear guidelines.

So who decides how to rate, say, "What Makes You Beautiful"? And what guidelines do we go by? Soon, we'll have long debates for most songs. "Is this really a Hard?" "No, I think it's an Easy." "But why?" "Because of X, Y, Z." "But what about A, B, C?". And at the end of the day, whatever consesus we reach would still be arbitrary.

There's a reason why we don't rate every song since Just Dance 2014 on an Easy to Hardest scale, even songs that were never rated by Ubisoft themselves. That logic should apply here. No arbitrary community-based ratings of songs.
