I agree with most of what you said until you got to this part.
While I am a big proponent of sharing content that any server developer can use, it would be a big mistake to take apart servers just for 'spare parts.' Seeing as I own a server and I haven't had the money to renew it for a while, I would be very angry if my creation were suddenly dismantled and redistributed without my permission.
However, I would very much approve of some kind of 'server morgue' where people can deposit their resources for others if they're giving up on a server project altogether. But really, it's better to develop new stuff for the community instead of always trying to dig up content from abandoned servers. We can't be scavengers forever.
