I really don't mind a codebase coming with or without stock areas personally. If it comes with, then it could be a starting point for a MUD. And it's not hard to take them out, which is what we did on our MUD. I really don't know why people like keeping stock areas in personally.
If a codebase doesn't come with but the necessities, then I'm indifferent. A little less work, but not by much.
I'm not sure how possible it is, but what would you think of having a codebase with or without a stock world, and then having the ability to download OTHER premade areas? It's not something I'd do but it's at least a thought.
