I think allowing a version of the emu to work with a fresh cd install could be beneficial.
I do agree with those who claim illegal downloading may occur, but as also said, it's bound to happen anyway.
Doing this would potentially reduce the burden on the devs, since they wouldn't feel so pressured to try and stay compatible with live.
Another benefit, although somewhat selfish-sounding, is that some of us could be able to become more updated. I'm still running 0.6.0-DR2, because I hadn't patched when the emu was live-compatible.
Anyway, this could always be seen as a test - if it flops, then just do what had been done before (chase live), or if it works fine, then maybe update when either another expansion is released, or when the full game and most/all expansions are released as a set.

It's not all that important, but I've noticed that the bars on the voting results won't stay visible. The numbers still show, though. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.1
