Is the rule of 6 still allowed in the 2020? And if so are my options different? I really want to keep on doing this >>>
Yes , my understanding is that will be fine. What will not be allowed by the new (stupid dumb rule that is being changed without any history of problems) rule is multiple disconnects in a common enclosure, such as MLO panel or switch board.
We really need to move to a five, or even better, ten year code cycle. The last few cycles, and most especially, 2017 and upcoming 2020 are proof that there is very little that need acted upon, but nobody seems satisfied to just say, "No need to make any changes this time."

But then there is no reason to buy a new code book, the old one will suffice, and the NFPA is in the business of selling code books.
Nahh. They solicit manufacturers and ask them "which of your products would you like us to require in the next edition?" Wouldn't be any money in doing that every 10 years. :happysad:

That setup is a code violation.

I presume you seen the service and some non service conductors are likely in same wireway?
That is what it looks like to me
Which section?
230.7 Other Conductors in Raceway or Cable. Conductors
other than service conductors shall not be installed in the same
service raceway or service cable in which the service conductors
are installed.
Exception No. 1: Grounding electrode conductors or supply side bonding
jumpers or conductors shall be permitted within service raceways.
Exception No. 2: Load management control conductors having overcurrent
protection shall be permitted within service raceways.

So, no more MLO MDPs?
I believe so. I. Not sure if that has been finalized, anyone know?
This will double the equipment cost for a 1000 amp service. From about 5k to 10k
