I still have read nothing in all Yoshi's waffle which says WHY a merger and destruction of the current servers is needed.

YES, I KNOW some folks feel 'their' server is empty, so LET THEM TRANSFER themselves somewhere else. Nothing in all he's said explains his desire to completely destroy the existing communities and re-build for the [minority?] who are unhappy with the population on the world they're currently playing on.

I have a lot of respect for Yoshi and how he's undertaken his role since he took over, but on this subject, given that the current game only has about around 9 months to live I think he's dead wrong.
