I'm pretty sure (and scared) it'll just be that we can host casual servers. Meaning it probably will be the standard (keep your settings the way we want them, no mods!). I feel perferrably the best thing they can do is close down quickplay for conventional games and re-promote the server browser. Save quickplay for casual games, and then have the competitive games.
I mean, it seems like a fair distribution of players over all facets of TF2.
