I did Moxie Pond to Flagstaff Lake last year. It was very noticeable that all the trail signs had been recently replaced and almost all of the puncheon was being allowed to rot and fall apart. One stream crossing a couple of miles south of the Kennebec had a bridge consisting of large log, rounded and extremely slippery to walk on, with two other equally rounded and slippery logs on either side at arm level. It was a bit treacherous. There also was a re-route at Pierce Pond downstream from stepping stones to a thigh deep ford. It's a very different mentality of what a hiking experience should be in Maine than on the rest of the trail. It seems like they want it to be as difficult as possible and don't much care about hiker safety or erosion control. JMHO. My preference on the bridge question would be for the MATC to have an LMP in line with elsewhere on the trail.
