I think it is more of a possibility than people are giving it credit for.
First of all, I loathe the notion it is becoming CoD. Its not. CoD is a twitch shooter, and at no point was it mentioned that a short TTK was a goal.
Just because maps start small doesn't mean they will end there. We can't even say how thwy will be, having only a demo to go off of. All we know is that they will be in, and on ships in space. And given what we know of EVE ships, some of them can get pretty large.
Lastly, if you read Pokeys blog, which is essentially a transcript of a Discord discussion, I find what is being discussed much more complex than you see in a CoD type game. Just the notion that goals and objectives will be more important than individual stats and achievements is counter to a CoD game.
I think it is just fear talking, and I would advise not to give in to that before we even get an Alpha.

DUST is gone and is not coming back, which answers the question from the title of this thread.
I was answering the question in the post, which was less a literal interpretation of Dust as it was on the PS3, and more the "Idea of Dust," which he describes in some detail.

However, the "Idea that was DUST" is what kept many of us playing. That one day, it was going to be this huge massive thing. Maybe better integration between EVE and DUST (DUST mercs getting a resource that is useful for capsuleers and caps making items for mercs, perhaps) or just the hope that the game would transcend from the PS3 into the PS4/PC and get a larger market share and fix a lot of the issues. The "Idea" that was the true New Eden FPS; streamlined to still fit the gameplay but still more complex than most other shooters.
In your opinion, is that ever going to happen now?
I get not having faith in CCP. I certainly have reservations about the top management of the company. BUT what I do have faith in is Rattati et al who took a game that looked dead at FF 14, after the release of the very unbalanced 1.8, and managed to make somewhat profitable, and a broken hunk of junk into something resembling balanced.
The reason I think Joseph's "Idea of Dust" is possible long term is because of Rattati and Co. The reason I wouldn't give a percentage of likelihood is because of Hilmar.
