It's a balance. Communities are to some extend fluid. Creating coercive conditions that make people stay even if they don't want to is just as bad for a community as people abandoning them.
A community that is attractive to outside newcomers can manage a certain amount of attrition of their original members and it is probably healthy for the overall community to allow such replacement to happen.
