How many times do you actually see that. Really?
Go here:
http://osu.ppy.sh/p/chartThese are supposedly the best maps from last month. Count how many of these maps did NOT have 10 (or even 8) actual mod posts when ranked. Hint: it's about half of them. It might even be more if you ignore mods with like 2 lines or mods that are nothing but pointless new combo spam that could be summed up with "put a new combo on each downbeat".
The problem is that if a map is "really good" and "doesn't really need mods" it will never get ranked under a system that requires X mods. You'll have people wasting time trying to mod it and failing (when they could be using that time on a map that actually needs modding).
Then you'll have a few people that post random changes that could actually be worse, and they are only posting them because the map "needs a mod post" to get ranked.
In most cases the "really good" map could be improved slightly with 3-4 posts, but generally after that you have to stretch it just to find something.
Also, if the mapper is also a really good modder (use Krisom as an example I suppose), chances are he's already modded his own map to death before submitting it, so it's unlikely that anyone else would find much of anything, given that the person is such a good self-modder.
