Battle.net will merge sc2 with all the other games once the release is stable. This, IMO, most likely means the channel system will remain intact. Blizzard has had huge success with it, and they don't intend to break it. SC2 will not be isolated like WoW.
I don't argue that it will merge. I stand only that the protocol and other internal stuff are too different and there is no point in using bnetd or pvpgn because anyway you'll have to do a total rebuild.
I said also that Starcraft2 have a similar battle.net communication protocol with WoW, not that all organizational stuff will be the same.
For the moment, we are looking at all options and trying to find the best and easy way to implement a battle.net 2.0 private server. Old battle.net servers are of no use.
true though the legacy games will probably remain using the older protocols. it would be some work to rebuild bnetd but i think it would be a good thing try to implement at some point. after all all the source code is there and it does beat starting from scratch.
