It would be good to have someone from the RunRev team here to clarify that. I've read that email and the page it points to twice, and I'm still not exactly sure what's being offered.
I don't think you need to worry about this list, though. At least I hope not. RunRev has been in direct competition with the consulting developer segment of its user base for years, and fortunately they've put enough of the proceeds from that work into marketing that I've seen no downturn in work coming in.
It's hard to say what the impact of this new Partner Program will be without knowing what it actually is, but I suspect (hope) that it won't erode consulting opportunities which afford us the luxury of spending time here.
