The obvious question in 2.2, why wasn't the Taipan added to CQC ?
And a poll if people would even want that.

Well, it's unfortunately clear that the devs haven't had any cycles to spare for improving CQC, so I don't expect including the Taipan will happen until they do.
I think it could make a sensible "medium fighter" option, heavier than the Condor/Imp but lighter than the Sidewinder / Eagle.
Or maybe they'll just remove the Sidewinder and Eagle from CQC entirely and stick with "pure" fighters. I could see that working too, if you increased the gap between Condor and Imp a bit.
