Part of the problem is that the Avalon Hill deal screwed up the clear ownership of Runequest - Greg kept Glorantha, AH kept the name Runequest (and were just about to produce a new game called Runequest Slayers (the name was the only part of Runequest that it used) when they were bought out). The rules system ended up in limbo. Greg took the opportunity to produce a different game that more closely fit his vision.
Everyone is in the same boat vis a vis their RQ modifications, but any Glorantha information you've accumulated is still as valid as it was (sure, it might be gregged under Hero Wars, but then it could have been gregged under RQ too...).
