it will surely be the runtime environment for stacks produced in DreamCard, but I suspect that a number of people using Rev will also opt to distribute their products as stacks, like it used to be with HyperCard player.
I may be missing something here, but I can't imagine any situation in which I would choose to prefer to distribute a product I create as a stack to be run in the Player rather than as a compiled standalone application. I suppose in some specialized situations or closed environments like classrooms one might for some reason prefer this approach. But I see the Player as a natural companion to Dreamcard, a way for a Dreamcard developer to distribute stacks to others who don't own Dreamcard or Revolution.
This may count as a specialized situation, but if you are particularly concerned about size, then there may be a case for distributing stacks. Stacks can be small (5-20K), but standalones are (I think) typically upwards of 1.75M If you have many dial-up (or even GSM modem) connected users, that might be a case for distributing stacks.
