ok... I haven't done mine with de-cambering so far... but I also haven't used bof/crs much, tbh, most of the time I mount somewhere in relation to the manufacturer's mark.BTW - I learned the hard way (many times) that BoF over CRS does NOT work with modern skis with more complex geometries and rocker profiles. You can trust me that it doesn't work or learn the hard way too.
That's a good one... I can see how differences in flex pattern may affect that, but since the manufacturer matches the sidecut to the camber and to the flex pattern, to get something that makes sense, some process like that makes sense.However, recently (and based on discussions with HH), I moved away from using that and entirely to allowing the ski design to mostly dictate my mount position by placing the boot shell midsole directly aligned with the narrowest point of the ski sidecut. That has been working the best for me with all types of skis. YMMV
Since body shape and intended use also plays into this, I don't think there is a single "golden ratio" (well, not for me at least) - I consider these as starting points and always try to test small variations until it feels good. Also, I've noticed that with certain skis, my preferred mounting point moved, in time... generally in counter-intuitive ways, so... I'll have to keep testing.
