The server would check each player's list against every other and take the most common one, then send that to everyone as an update. Thus, everyone has the same list every few seconds and the server wouldn't have to do any work actually calculating any of the physics. Also, a majority of the server would have to be hacking in order for it to affect the rest of the server.

Well, the client has to send data to the server if the stuff is being done clientside. I'd think of Classic's movement as more secure than other systems just because it's a lot more unique than any other systems.
