Even if one is eventually necessary, he seems to believe the old world and a new world can be concurrently maintained on the server without issue anyway. There is definitely no such need for it in 1.9 though - as has been stated the only new addition of any consequence is additional strongholds, which hold no unique items we can't get elsewhere much more easily and would be found in great number the next time the resource world gets reset.

Note the decision to not reset does not extend to side worlds like the Nether and End. Should circumstances require a reset for those, they're much more likely to get wiped clean than the main world is, though they'd need to be quite extenuating circumstances. The only thing I can currently think of is that Elytra might be prohibitively rare on multiplayer, and might require something more to make them more available.
