I just don't see it happening. Even if you get this documentation work

No. CLL 1.1 is NOT intended to sit around for a decade, but to serve as
the basis for discussing the proposals that people want considered. If
those proposals are well-documented, I could imagine CLL 1.1 be replaced
by CLL 2.0 within a couple of years at most.
Anything more than a minor proposal after it will be immediately hit
with the argument that people are relying on the stability of the new
CLL. By the time the next edition needs to be printed (in 2030?)
We aren't doing a print run of 1500 books. Indeed, CLL 1.1 might be
published only by Print-on-Demand, like the introductory book available
through Lightning Source (though, we may need to make it hardbound
simply because of page count.)
The bottom line is that ideas like a morphology that doesn't require
stress to parse, or the use of the final vowel to indicate sumti
position, or a simplified rafsi system that doesn't require
memorization, and so on, are simply never going to be given
consideration.
Probably true. It's also likely that such an effort would not be
considered enough like Loglan/Lojban to warrant calling them a
"derivation". English is after all a derivation of Indo-European, and
more recently Old English, but relatively few people care to learn
anything about those predecessors.
