This would indeed be THE solution, but who's going to pay for the staff reading/browsing each and every novel to decide? Do you think the DTP still would be free to use then?

This open structure right now allows any author to put his/her novel(s) online. For free. Within a few days. Without any censorship in advance!
But with the risk of being removed later if Amazon considers these novels unsuitable (and most of the stuff listed I personally(!) consider porn, not erotica).

On a grander scale I'd rather have it Amazon handle it the way they do now before they become a real gatekeeper and definitely using censorship methods to keep authors out.

DTP - use it at you own risk. But: no risk, no fun.
