I got the impression the Wars of Reaving was the climax of the "writing the HW clans out of the plot" arc.
I'd safely say (without being involved, by the way, so grain of salt here) that the plan looked more like 'put them aside for a while, return to that chaos some other time down the road when it fits our plans'. With the folks involved in those decisions no longer involved in Battletech (unfortunately), the future may look very different in that regard than it did under Beas/Rome. Equally safe to say that we're not likely to get much in the way of hints from the current administration beyond "Wait and see", "More to be revealed", "Shut the hell up Hellbie", and other such comments. ^-^
Really though- while the Home Clans aren't everyone's cup of tea, they're clearly popular around here with a lot of fans, and there's a lot of story to tell- particularly after Ben Rome put a bucket on their heads and beat it with a spoon for a while. Our last look in the Supplemental was fascinating, and sets up a very interesting future- it would be almost unthinkable for Catalyst to never go back there again.
