There's a misunderstanding here. Rev still builds standalones exactly as 
it used to. The Player is an addition to the existing feature set, and 
separate from any standalones. There may be cases where you would rather 
distribute stacks; for example, if you plan to send someone lots of 
different stacks but you don't want to build standalones for each one. 
In that case, you would just send them the Player along with all your 
stacks. This saves a lot of disk space and the user can play all your 
stacks with a single application.

Standalones can still be built and distributed just as they always were. 
The Player just adds an additional delivery option.
