Don't hold your breath... I think a number of folk have been waiting for the answer to that question for quite some time.
The fact that the Fusion 9 Studio dongle now also activates Resolve 15 Studio is perhaps the clearest indication we have that BMD now considers Fusion to be part of Resolve and that perhaps the stand-alone version of Resolve has reached "end of life" from a development perspective.
If the Resolve version of Fusion was as fast/capable/reliable as the stand-alone version then this would be acceptable - but it's not. This leaves "serious" Fusion users in a difficult position. Do we cross our fingers and wait for the day when Fusion in Resolve *is* as good (or better) than stand-alone Fusion? Or do we look elsewhere for compositor/VFX software?
From where I stand, Fusion Studio stand-alone is still working well for me and there aren't any "must-have" features that would cause me to change software at this stage. I'll sit around and watch what happens with Resolve's Fusion in the meantime. However, I do understand that there are some who need bug-fixes and who feel that stand-alone Fusion will lose its edge if it's not going to be further updated from this point.
