The return of VMTN?

Over the years there have been a lot of outcries in the VMware Community to re-instate the VMware Technology Network (VMTN).
The VMTN started in 2005 and is much like Microsoft MSDN or TechNet, for a reduced yearly fee you could use the VMware software and run it for 1 year. Unfortunately VMware canceled the VMTN program in 2007, reportedly because they didn’t want developers to use it for competitive products.
Right now many developers and techies with home labs use evaluation versions which expire after 60-days.
So, according to VMware CTO, Steve Herrod, VMware is now considering the return of the VMware Technology Network and I think it’s a good initiative. Why?
