I don't know anybody who uses double biners now.

If by that you mean two biners with brake bars in them. Without a long rack, I don't see how anyone could get the friction control necessary to go down a 75 lb. rope (650 ft). The handbook of single rope technique, "On Rope" by Bruce Smith, has a picture of a double biner setup with a big 'no' symbol over it. Some people use bobbins or petzl stops but I don't know if they are suitable for long drops or not.
