Them being consistent makes more sense to me than them suddenly gas lighting us.
When? Even Diadem and LoV Yoshida hasn't outright disparaged despite the former being overhauled three times and the latter more or less abandoned.

The consistent trend they've shown is when content is well received they either repeat or build on top of it. We've seen that with Deep Dungeon, Eureka, Delubrim and etc.

That is literally the definition of the term "put on ice". It means to stop working on a project or do so sparingly at best. Deep Dungeon would be an example fitting this category for Shadowbringers. Speaking of, they're bringing it back purely due to player demand. It wasn't intended to come back, or so was implied.

Blue Mage being updated doesn't mean they'll continue Limited Jobs beyond this initial outing. They announced already having a set number of abilities already in development at the time of its release. This suggests a great deal of the work had been done earlier.

Ultimately, I could very much be wrong. As someone who has every ability and actually enjoys Blue Mage, I'd like for them to do more with the system. But I'm well aware it simply isn't popular and never has been. Hence my conclusion.

I would not be surprised if BST was planned for a 5.5 release originally but was pushed back into 6.X because of 2020.
Please re-read my post. I specifically referred to them not releasing a new Limited Job would be putting the system on ice. Not that it currently is.
