People's Revolution sounds a bit dramatic. I don't see how creating a brand new login server from say the mail server or chat server like has already been done will cause any kind of revolution. I do see how it will stimulate this community, encourage more developers to help the community, and provide redundancy for the project, none of which can even be remotely considered as detrimental to anyone other than the person whos going to control the project.
Devn00b you asked a question, the answer was in the post, keeping the captive audience is the reason so one would think, though people will still come here to develop and if they don't there will be a better project most likely somewhere else.
The thing is, when and if it ever is released opensource everyone wins. Imagine the possibilities, global chat, server-to-server tells, login redundancy, and even forks (good forks ;P) of the project.
I'm just going to be completely honest. There is $100.00 waiting on the first person who can get a stable LS developed and $50.00 thereafter monthly until I decide I'm tired of EMU. That is my pledge but I am not doing so knowing that the project has the same potential to be right back where we started from a week, month, or even year down the road. There has to be a warranty of sorts that this situation we are in now never, EVER happens again; and the only answer I can conjure is open source.
