This was somewhat addressed recently here.
It’s not an official yes or no, but it’s not necessarily confirmed yet. Personally, I think the C menu is better overall than CondOS at the cost of not being quite as thematic, though holding C while trying to navigate the menus can certainly be a pain. I do think it would be cool to see CondOS return (perhaps as an item available at the electronics store) so long as the C menu stays.
Also, did the highlight to quote system break or something? It doesn’t work for me anymore.
