The main developers will abandon the board and the custom releases will appear just to fix things that their server needs.

Why? I think this possibility is not related with open or closed source. If "The main developers will abandon the board" with closed source, it will be a death of emulator, with open source we have some chanses for a resurrection.

Why do you want to filter all packets?
I'm curious now.

Ok.
1) Login packets:
1.1) I don't know, how to disconnect player, while he is log in and account is already in use. This occurs, when player losing internet connecting for a part of second. (Bad login 1, f_onaccount_login is not firing)
1.2) I don't know, how to disable Fightbook(ini flag is united with tooltips).
1.3) I don't know, how to request info about player hardware(my be, I'm mistaken, but I think it should be requesed on login).
2) Server packets:
2.1) I know no adequate way to make personal visibility for NPCs / players, because is not possible to block char update packets(for example, is needed for quests).
2.2) I can't fix bugly delays on packet exchange. It is a long story... One place, where you can see it, is the ships. But it occurs in PvP too.
2.3) I can't fix visualrange > 18.
It is only a bit of example related with packets. But there are many other issues, that is not / hardly fixable by scripts.

I'd never got client crash while running sphere. Even in pvp or pvm, or whatever.

1) Sometimes Sphere has general bugs for client crashes.
2) Now I doesn't have this problem on the build I'm using(Feb 2011), but I had random freezes / crashes on last builds. Unfortunately, I didn't had time(and motivation, because l'm not assure, what last builds is better than Feb 2011, for example, 2011 build have stable EF_NETWORKOUTTHREAD, but NetworkThreads in the last builds is complitely unstable) to test this complitely, may be it is fixable by ini / scripts, may be not...
Are you really using last builds on a living shard and your players have connection problems? What version of client do you use?

Quote:12+ is speed hack.

Practically, when player doesn't have an ideal internet connection, he may send more than 10 run packets in a second. 12-13 is possible. Clearly, there is no problem to fix permanent speed hack, but is it hard to prove a very short acceleration: "resend" and other methods.
