This is more of a possibility when you have people stating constantly "I have got my money's worth and more from COD, what's wrong with you people"
There is a vast majority of folks that have simply shelved COD and moved on to other things while quietly waiting for COD to be fixed. If they find out that that $50 bill collecting dust on their shelf is going to cost another $50 to be patched properly, they probably will lose interest completely, and not purchase the sequel. I don't want that to happen.

I don't think that's going to happen. I know that if it does happen as you describe it will greatly curb my buying decision regarding BoM. I don't expect detailed clouds and weather formations, but I would expect AI, FM working comms and at least a working on-line mode for those who use it to be implimented in CoD independant of BoM.
I also think (hopeful) that 1C sees it the same way. They know that despite the whining, there has been a lot of support too. Even the most ardent whiners are fans who expected something better and are disappointed. Releasing the corrections and features independant of CoD (or even only dovetailed into CoD with purchase of BoM) will lead to an even greater loss of faith in the company. It would be suicide IMO.
