Maybe time to change this thread name to CLM ByKolles LMP1 (was Lotus), or something equally catchy.
And I agree that we absolutely need privateers to be having a go, however hopeless their cause. The old cycle has started whereby manufacturer interest is raised enough for more to become involved, which means more contenders for a finite number of podium places, which means more money is thrown at the problem (which may be exacerbated by the open powertrain regs we have now), until one board, then another says this is costing too much, and they pull out.
In short, lets enjoy this while it's here because the next couple of years could be classics.
