If I remember correctly, the fast solver table 957 got locked pretty early as it got leaked at less than 50 solves. This makes complete sense, but at the same time, many other hard and beautiful problems got leaked before their FSTs got filled completely (942, 963 (which got leaked very quickly) 968, and most recent problems).
In light of this, I personally don't think it makes too much sense to treat 957 differently than these other problems (assuming it doesn't face significantly more cheaters than other problems. Since many legitimate people did solve 957 after its table was closed, I think reopening the table would respect these efforts and bring parity between 957 and other problems.
As a disclosure, I did solve 957 after the FST closed so I may be biased as a result. In either case, thank you for reading this!

Re: 957 FST
We've decided to restore the full FS list for 957. (We've also added the same AI cheating note/disclaimer at the top as you can see on other problems, due to the fact of the leak and a reported AI solve around the same time as the leak.)
