You do enjoy debate, don't you, Doc? I don't. Not even masochistically.
When I use the word "monitor" in the poll option, as should be obvious, I mean "monitor" in the sense of being able to look at potential new Ages in depth and detail, test, review, check for canonicity, as you concede in your second paragraph. The sort of thing you have said you want them, or somebody, to be able to do before they put a single fan Age on their server, the sort of thing that if they can't even fix something like the Minkata sparklie they certainly are unable to do at this present moment. Yes, they opened the gallery doors, and that was very nice, but I'm theorising that it will be a long while before the next small improvement.
They could, as you say, simply leave their server as it is, but that would be not so much monitoring as not doing anything. And if they did allow fan-run servers with fan-created Ages on them to run parallel with their own unchanging MOULagain server, I think the latter wiould be empty within a very short period. So I don't think that would be a good idea.
