Keep in mind I think this is also a wise step with this new contract system. Valve certainly doesn't want to make it easy for people to find empty Valve servers with their friends and jump on to complete the contracts with little or no effort.
I think this is a great first step towards helping communities that are still passionate about making the game better. I would love to see the overall User Interface augmented with something like this: http://i.imgur.com/tAmWXj6.png That would preserve player choice/convenience with the quickplay system, yet give the game's diversity more exposure in the bargain.
