Expanding Original PEQ Database?

[Riklin]

I have been following the project for over a decade now. Servers are more stable than they have ever been before! Most of the memory leaks are fixed! The developers who all do their work voluntarily, do an AMAZING job! With Akka's server script, a person can have a server built and running on a VPN in a matter of minutes, literally! The one thing all these server instances have in common is PEQ, which has not had any major expansion of content in a long time. The PEQ database has been stuck at 3/4 done with OOW since before then.
I have set up and run a small (Linux) server called Halls Havoc in several different configurations, in the last decade. Currently configured as supporting boxing up thru Velious. I even went as far as to rebuild Injured Paw (South Karana) and Cazic Thule, to the way it was back then, with quests and factions and loot! I even went as far as tried to set up The Serpent's Spine zones. I got 10% of the quests done, 80% of the faction done, around 60% of the pathing resolved and 70% of the loot drops resolved, before realizing I was still months away from it being ready. Most quests aren't that difficult, but some of them are still beyond my experience.
Anyway, everyone is spending ridiculous amounts of time tweaking their instance of PEQ, then literally throwing that work away when they quit and move on to another game or thing. There is an old programmer axiom that explains this clearly - "There is never time to do it right, but always time to do it over"... Why hasn't someone on the development team tried to coordinate an effort to "finish" more zones/expansions? I've never liked LUA (it feels like its programming backwards), but have been successful with Perl, and use it for the quests on my server.

Am I truly alone in wishing the database nearly everyone uses had more expansions?!
