There can still be a Zelda-themed server or two (preferably one backed by CJ), but as a "development platform" it really limits your developers and in return, what types of worlds/games they can make.

None of that would matter if someone would have to pay more than 60$ to even start working on a server with those provided options.
Not to mention I don't see the GDT providing that large amount of stuff, when it took 9 months to get out a starter pack that could have been salvaged from the code gallery and free tiles thread in 15 minutes.
The developers in GDT are just that, developers. They are not (for my knowledge) skilled in writing particularly good guides. I see their time better spent writing the scripts and making the graphics for a server quickly, and on thier own time.
