The Community Standards are in the process of being phased out anyway:

"Linden Lab is carefully planning the move to this federated model, and 
during the transition we'll continue to enforce the Community Standards. 
Note that after the transition, all of Second Life will still be 
required to abide by the Terms of Service, even though local community 
standards may vary."

So apparently, once this undetermined "transition" is over, the 
community standards won't exist, replaced with various "local standards".

I believe this is tied to ARs going directly to estate owners.

To put this in context, someone could easily offer "anonymous" islands 
that forbid external content that would reveal IP.  Those places would 
probably be kind of dull, however.
