I definitely agree on creating a quality standard though. Nearly every pet trade hobby has an association of breeders and a breed standard. While we don't have breeds, we do have morphs, and you might not be able to ascribe a value judgement to an animal based one whether someone likes it or not - as pointed out, some people like different things, and to return to the dog allegory for a second, I love a well bred, straight-back German Shepard and loathe toy breeds - it may be reasonably doable to create a morph standard based on traits that morph should have. It could possibly revitalized interest in single gene morphs even, if breeder start a focus on selecting one or two single gene morphs to improve the quality of.
