For me it's not about Jean returning or not, I feel they destroyed or reconned who she was, Phoenix have been given to virtually to everybody it's not special to jean anymore, she was reconned not to be able to control it.
Jean is now a poor victim host of the phoenix, one among many others...People unfortunely don't see Jean without the phoenix as a fiery omega mutant...they see a housewife! dressing like a mum, they reduced Jean to a nice badly dressed housewife who just had her moment because of the Phoenix to promote the sexy White Queen....
Like it or not Brevoort is an editor and in the world of comics if an editor said something it become very valid and canon, if you read other Forum the majority is now saying that Brevoort is right and they read Ensong that way as well and that it's just us Jean fans who are seeing things who are not there....
They now deconstructed who Jean was, I know some people don't like it but the phoenix was a big part of Jean, it was her special and intimate connection to a primal force, or the ultimate expression of her power, all the imagery and majesty of it was hers and only hers, all that plus the fact that Jean was such a great heroine,she was the girl next door who could be a God, beautiful, fiery, compassionate and smart...now she was just a poor victim of a parasitic force bend on chaos,  who have been sleeping around so much it's now connected to everyone...it's like an STD

Even if Jean come back, she's been drag in the mud and made fun off so much,  I don't see her being able to reclaim her place as the alpha female in the x-men.

So yeah, maybe next year, of if not next year I am sure marvel will find some other tease to drag her fans even longer....
