Oda has repeated the same Meracydia lore at least once when asked about it, so it seems to be the state of their existence right now even within the company, at least as presented to us. That isn't to say it can still change but I'd personally rather go to the places closer to home that haven't been explored but have been teased.

I was expecting 6.4 to end the void nonsense and 6.5 would be all about the next expansion. But it looks like it's going to drag on and it still hasn't been resolved, meaning the next expansion will have less prep leading up to it and payoff once we get there, especially so if it's for a whole continent unrelated to anything going on right now.
