This is the "lets get as close to classic as possible server" the "lets fix the dev's mistakes server" has yet to be created.

Well put.
I will add that it takes time to make all the necessary changes to the original code base that makes the server classic-like. That means some random asshat can always say, "Well this isn't classic so why even try to make anything classic?". Obviously, that is a nonsense question, and should never be used as justification for desired non-classic changes.
The other point that is sometimes made is, "This change was eventually reversed, so why even put it in place?". The problem with this point is that it is nearly impossible to draw the line. What if a change was made in 2011? Should we retro the game play p99? Probably not. What about 2005? Might make sense.... how to decide that? Which changes should be reversed and which should not? If ANY were reversed, would the server still be as close to classic as possible, within in the time frame that is currently being experienced there? No, it wouldn't.
What if a change (nerf) were reversed in Luclin? An argument could be made for that change to eventually occur in p99 I think. However, it would probably best occur after Velious had been in place for a while.
