It would be really cool to have a single login server and then choose which server you could play on. I don't think the servers should necessarily merge though.
I can understand Torven's frustration. The amount of time and energy he has put into making high quality data sets, data analysis, and coding their implementation has been mind blowing. He has truly helped preserve the accuracy of EQMac's mechanics and database. All for free, for whoever wants to use it. To see another project attempt to devalue and disrespect his work has to be painful.
As to TAKPs server rotations, that was only for Naggy and Vox during classic. So far in Kunark there has been no need for a rotation. The server staff have been much more hands off in terms of raid management, and continue towards a more hands off approach. They have really been good recently in having more open communications with the server population. They are learning best management practices for the server, just as other projects have learned and changed over time.
I really hope that people who have strife with each-other can make progress towards better relationships for the benefit of both projects.
