Update on this.  I talked to the aforementioned server programmer
for 10Six about LEDOs, and he corrected me, saying that no product
had ever shipped with LEDOs technology.  10Six abandoned LEDOs for
their own proprietary in-game booster pack technology.  The primary
difference between that and LEDOs was that LEDOs were exchangable
outside the gamespace, whereas 10Six booster items were not.

Other games were supposed to use LEDOs but either changed radically
in gameplay vision (Vigilance) or ended up being cancelled
altogether (Skies).

Asked why LEDOs support was yanked, the aforementioned programmer
simply said "Because they couldn't get it to work."
