Considering what's happening now, it makes me wonder if the decision about community ownership was done on purpose to prevent usurpation of a forum by some who might want to shut it down. But you're right, it does facilitate some of the issues surrounding who can mirror or transfer a community. DW has already done community transfers but they have been done on a case-by-case basis which is pretty labor intensive.
Yes, things always get lost or broken in moves so it's a good analogy. In the case of Top 5 for example, it'll end up being a record of stuff created rather than a functional archive because 90% of what it points to is on LJ.

Although I really, really, really, really hope LJ doesn't go under. It's my home and I HATE moving. :(
