I Am Lycos
You've given me a crisis. I have one, but I'd like to continue having one, if we upgrade it. I'll have to create another stupid character!

nah
There's no way Bungie will prevent people who weren't crazy like us from getting a new gun/content.
Either you'll be able to re-acquire it some way a la husk of the pit, or it won't be required at all.
/reality check

I'd rather be Alta Vista

That isn't how the Spindle or NTTE worked.
Pretty safe to assume the completely useless weapon will remain completely useless.

But it is how husk of the pit worked.

Arguably, that stayed pretty useless too :p

You're smarter than this.

It's not useless
It's great for trolling n00bs in the Crucible!

The two he mentioned are more recent

And more directly comparable.
Husk was introduced at the same time as the Necro/(whatever the legendary version was called) and was only created to make the Necro harder to obtain.
Spindle and NTTE were created based on the popularity of the original guns, which is the more relevant comparison.
Obviously they could do something different this time. But, then we should also be worried about needing a year 1 Gyllenhaal for the new crappy one.

Look, it's all stupid "I wonder" crap.
There's a solid chance that gun is literally just the white 5 damage gun from the beginning of the game.
Also, Bingle hasn't kept much consistent through the updates. Levelling, exotics, upgraded guns, et cetera. There's also a solid chance that we're going to have to relearn how to progress in the game again.
If we're spitballing, no reason to hold off on what we spitball.

"solid" = 100%*
