I suspect the reason we won't see one for even longer time frame is because this last CG was a bug-ridden mess (in Open, anyway). Hopefully they'll give us a new one to test in December come beta time.
Combat CG's are now nonexistant?

All CG and II have ended untill All of the First half of the years updates are done...
This means players have traded the II and CG's just so PC players can play a beta first... So console users lose these function for ZIP as even with past betas the console versions were still a buggy mess as the PC player miss many a bug still..
No more Combat CGs till after updates...

Certainly bored of hand-picked mega-squadron CGs, digressing. Not really inviting or welcoming of divergent play styles, makes it hard to enjoy small groups, feels like it's always the same groups getting picked too. All the hand-picked favoritism tbh. Was there even another science group other than Canonn after they were canonized FDev? Why even try at that point, someone else is doing it and is certainly farther along with a LOT more resource, and the Devs blessing, which can mean getting tips no one else has access to.

You think the writing team couldn't come up with a half-arsed paragraph gimmick to justify why they'd implement the same mechanics they've been using for years in some randomly selected system - because FDev introduced a weekend beta?Please read the 3306 announcement topic in the forums..

Exactly.
Frontier have consistently been reallocating resources away from the live game's team either to the expansion's or one of their other games (we can't tell which it is), and the influencer open letter gave them a perfect excuse to do it even more.
Personally, if the situation is worsening, then I'd rather go without CGs for half a year than to have the expansion (and thus, any new content) delayed for half a year.

It seems really weird to blame an open letter asking for better community engagement around development of the game, for FDev getting worse at community engagement.
If you're correct and the story team can't string together some tokenistic gestures to involve the community using tickboxes that are already integrated into the game's mechanics because FDev would otherwise delay expansion content for a further 6 months - then FDev really are in big trouble.
