We may see some fixed maps, and more content overall in the future, but otherwise actually completing this version of the game is extremely doubtful, and there is also no precedent for it, either, again using HL2 as an example here.
Nobody ever finished or fixed that leak either, the farthest things got was a huge patch with fixed maps, but they are derivative works since the originals relied on models, textures, or features that got removed from the game since. And that, some 17yrs later after the fact no less. The outcome to this is probably going to be similar.
Shame it could never be officially approved, but I guess it's better than nothing at all. At least the fans who wanted it can sleep now (or spin in their graves, whatever floats their boat).
