They won’t reply, nor will anything be changed with Valve servers.
Personally I’d like to see the amount of them cut in half and I believe the
suggestion was to remove it from defaults after a specified amount of time
played but as I said…never happen.
Replying as you did just makes me feel like something will happen, kinda like
waiting for a unicorn to appear.

So how's it coming? It's been a few months now and as usual, nothing has
happened. I know that as without being a server op, I would find Valve servers
distasteful. There's something about being votekicked for killing players on
the other team that just makes the gameplay experience unsatisfactory.
Thanks,
Alexander "Dr. McKay" Corn

Hey guys, with today's update we're introducing a few new features that will
impact servers, and I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
There is a new quickplay category, featured, that represents the featured maps
for a given campaign. In order to have your server in this category, you need
to be running the mapcycle mapcycle_featured_maps.txt, and have the special
string 'featured' in your quickplay tags.
Today's update also introduces contracts, which currently require players be on
official servers to complete. Unfortunately, our current setup makes it very
difficult to restrict features like this other than in an all-or-nothing
manner, and we determined this was necessary to protect the system from
immediate abuse.
We agree this is not ideal. We are continuing the look at the situation with
community servers and how we can better support passionate communities, but
currently have nothing to announce.
