As long as you are not equating length of time to difficulty, then sure.
OT: I very much expect the time it will take to clear AQ40 on Classic to be around 2 hours for the first run until people get scarabs. The hardest part of the raid will be the running distance to the next boss.
Your persistence of vision does not come without great sacrifice. Let go of the tangible mass of your mind, it is only an illusion. There is no escape.. For the soul burns on everlasting encapsulated within infinite time. A thousand year journey at the blink of an eye... Humanity is dust..
I'm also curious what the largest server is that is NOT on track to open the gates next Tuesday. Actually, with the five-day supply moving, that would be any server that hasn't yet completed the war effort about now, right?
Raid bosses will always be very similar so long as encounter design requires DPS to always be pumping 100%.
So if they ever make BC servers are you going to be one going "Who cares, world first was 15 years ago". Seriously, you're the poster child for the stop having fun-guy meme.

I'd say more than that, cause there's a lot of running involved and mounts.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
Under one hour, and just because the place is huge and people will have to walk.
I expect the fastest guilds to have this taken into account though, with speed buffs to make it shorter.
A lot of people suggest releasing C'thun in its "unnerfed" state. The original C'thun was not nerfed, it was fixed. Afaik tentacles continuously spawned in impossible places where they could stack up damage undisturbed and the ones that could be reached required unreasonable damage output to keep in check.
I am sure top guilds would still beat it without a wipe or close to it because of minmaxing and optimization, but it wouldn't be a fun experience for everyone else.

Nonsense, there's a lot of fun to be had with classic and TBC. I'm going to raid ahn'qiraj and enjoy it. But there's very little exciting to me about speculating which people world buffing to kill bosses in 20 seconds and turn them into target dummies will kill their target dummies first, in a 15 year old game where the players involved have already cleared the instance 100 times.
You guys do you though!

Glitch through the floor. Or wait, that'd probably be fixed, it's client side these days isn't it?
honestly i just want to watch someone wipe and then get sad they will miss worldfirst because of the 10-15min corpserun.
have a feeling warlocks will get the first mount drops :P
Is it this week that the first sceptres are able to be completed or is the first possible opening going to take longer?
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
China already killed Cthun and they streamed it, not sure how long full run took them but seemed like a very easy 1 shot on Cthun.
The fact that people only care about the very first kill maybe? Your description of speedclearing is wrong and does not apply to wow. Speedclears are continuous through time - what is the fastest clear today might not be anymore tomorrow, but no one cares about that with wow raiding. What is hapenning here is people trying to get their 15 mins of fame by claiming a "world first" because there is a buzz around classic wow and its community - probably people that were not playing or too young when the real WF hapenned. When AQ gets cleared next week, people will only care about whoever kills it first on tuesday regardless of the time it took. If a guild kills it faster on wednesday, no one will care (but that'd fall into the right definition of speedclearing). It'd be like saying I'm the first man to walk on the moon in 2020 because I took a different spaceship, and it took less time to fly there than in 1969.
Very easy one shot of cthun by Chinese guilds
