Over/under on the main character being anyone not named Hal Jordan?

It says "including". Doesn't mean I trust them (especially Guggenheim, whose responsible for the worst seasons of Arrow) to decide not to still somehow make the show all about how much better Hal is than the characters who didn't exist when the writers were a bunch of 3rd graders.

I'm assuming they're saving Hal and/or John Stewart for some other live action project, especially given the most people outside comic fans are largely familiar with the latter.

I think this line up kinda rules and honestly would take any of them over Jordan. Baz and Cruz especially are extremely underrated characters. Really hope they stick with Cruz's confidence issues and Baz's racial and religious issues. Thought they made for interesting stories during some bleh years creative wise at DC.
Alan Scott and Gardner are interesting inclusions though, guessing Gardner is a bit of the comedic relief and Scott the mentor role.

Elsewhere it was stated Jordan and Stewart are not involved because they are saving them for other projects. My guess is them and Kyle Rayner are the subjects of the Green Lanterns movie that has been in development hell.

What a great lineup of characters. I hope we at least get David Ramsey making a cameo as John Stewart even if this isn't connected to the Arrowverse.
I'm also curious to see how they handle Alan Scott's powers unless they just make him to be a regular member of the GL Corps for this show.

No John Stewart hopefully confirms that means that he is all but confirmed for the Arrowverse shows....always has been the rumor he is gonna show up in Superman and Lois.
And it was always way too big a cliffhanger to not do anything with.

Much like he's been since the New 52, Alan Scott will be gay according to the Deadline article.

Ryan Reynolds just felt a shiver down his spine.

What happened to Green Lantern Corps? Is that still on the slate, is this that under a different name or what?

According to that article, it seems Guy Gardner has a half-human, half-alien partner now named Bree Jarta. I did a little detective work and she seems to be an original character. But there was a woman named Umaraal Jarta that appeared in the Sinestro comics. And like Sinestro, she's Korugaran. Could just be a coincidence and Bree has nothing to do with Sinestro's race, but Berlanti and co. love sneaking in more obscure things as Easter Eggs.
And it looks like it will indeed be an anthology series over the course of years instead of a single timeframe. Scott's focus will be in the 40's while Guy and Bree will be in the 80's. Have to figure Simon and Jessica will be the focuses of a modern timeframe.

Aside from Legands I don't even care about the Arrowverse post Crisis, but if they do this without Diggle as a Lantern they have their heads up their asses, because that's what the fans have wanted for years.

I can kind of see this going either way, but the anthology route helps a lot. Hopefully they give Kyle a prominent role in it, really hate how de-emphasized he's been in recent years.
I hope they just go for it on Alan Scott's costume. His old one's fantastic and it always looks like shit any time they've tried to make him look like the rest of the Green Lanterns.
I'm not really a fan of choosing to go the New 52 gay route with Alan? Not that I'm opposed but with this show taking place over a wide timeframe you could easily just put in Jade and Obsidian to explore that with and I could see that aspect with Alan feeling too much like Doom Patrol. Though that stuff's like the best part of Doom Patrol so maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing.
