I didn't see the point to begin with. Social Networks are and have always been interface challenges, not technical ones (at least until you get to massive scale). The more logical way to address privacy concerns would be through interface (clearer controls, better explanations of who can see what, simpler ways to share with select groups, etc.) The idea that a buggy, self-hosted, SSL-encrypted node would address any of people's dissatisfaction with Facebook is, I think, silly to begin with.
