I think that Rotary's reboot into XCOR was pretty successful, but I doubt that Rocketplane will benefit from a rebirth. It's been infected by the Kistler kiss of death, and I've always disagreed with their basic technical concept.
X-Cor is a "reboot" of the Rotary propulsion team, and not all of that.
As for Rocketplane, it's had >100% turnover on technical staff before and survived.
