Yes, but there is nothing groundbreaking in your post and I guess Katauri doesn't want just a better add-on. What you wrote down seems like a better add-on even to me. So in my opinion they need some to take some time to approach the game from a different angle and "repair" things which aren't quite right and come up with something new. I'd rather they don't hurry than have a KB2 =KB1++.

What about a new graphic engine? This alone would take them some time.
What about doing more things than KB? (owning a castle maybe etc)
What about a believable story and told differently than KB1 (not texts)? etc
I don't know what they want to do with the franchise so I can only speculate but they certainly need time to see the whole picture (even small details can make a big difference in this game).
