This is essentially what I was thinking.

For a softfork to be activated, it needs to gain support. To gain support, people need to talk about it and address the concerns that were raised. There seem to be few people talking about OP_CAT and, as far as I am aware, the concerns have not been adequately addressed. It currently seems to have little momentum and there hasn’t even been an activation mechanism discussed, let alone an activation client published.

At this time, there seems to be a low likelihood of OP_CAT being adopted any time soon.

Even if some bitcoiners enact OP_CAT, others might not, or they might fork another chain.

If a new feature introduced by a soft fork is enforced by a minority of the hashrate, it cannot be relied upon and therefore is unlikely to achieve any meaningful usage.
