I wouldn't expect you to feel any other way...
It's pretty clear that you wouldn't shed any tears if they simply dropped the Inquisitor altogether, but that doesn't seem likely to me.
Nor does writting a whole new codex for just a handful of units.
So, giving them just a couple pages in C:GK and/or C:SoBs would be the easiest way to keep the inquisition fans happy(More or less.)

Considering we've heard rumors about an Allies supplement, I wouldn't be surprised if the Inquisition was moved to there entirely. The Inquisition has never fit in to any of the codices they've been shoveled into.
edit: "we" in this case refers to the posters at the Bell of Lost Souls Lounge.

Hmm....a supplement.
I suppose that is a possibility.
GW has been pushing a lot of supplements lately...
However, this is shiny new news to me. Heck, I'm even a little excited about it...

It might also include non-Imperial allies, as well. Ork Freebootaz, Kroot Mercenaries, Eldar Pirates, etc.
Mind you, it's just a rumor (and a recent one, so without too much to support it), but it sounds damned awesome to me...

An entire codex full of weird crap I can counts-as?
*drools*

Seems like something GW would like to publish as a supplement. THey basically already did that with Apocalypse anyway, they just have to move it to lower points levels.

I like the sound of that very much... in fact, should we hear concrete rumours regarding this kind of thing, I think I'd be more excited about that than anything else I've heard rumoured recently!
Just imagine the awesomeness you could make with something along those lines... It would also help to find a place for crossover units that weren't core troops, but could be accessed by two or more races (such as Harlequins for Eldar of all flavours... maybe a reason for the Dark Eldar codex being put on further hold?)

Oh yeah, that's the only rumour that I actually care about (I care about the DE too, but frankly I'd probably prefer if they never got a new codex just so I can feel unusual, haha. Some new models wouldn't hurt though...). Would be absolutely lovely with that book... I'm the kind of girl who have spent hours thinking how I can get funnier, alternative units into my army by using Inquisitorial codexes or other ally variants in my every army.

Well it just seems that you'd be able to use the normal codex to have a general list - one that would be the most common choice of units that would be seen in most theatres of battle - and then a book that provided some of the more esoteric characters and units that, while not common, help to flesh out the gothic background. I can't see it happening to be honest though

We can always hope, and there is a place for it. GW likes obscure units and characters with lots of special rules.
Personally I couldn't care less of what the unit was actually called, I just take what I want and count them as something that most likely makes more sense.

More rumors for the mill, from the BoLS Lounge:
I'm not sure how this fits in with everything else we've heard, but it supposedly comes from a GW company conference in Las Vegas.

I take all GW info with the caveat that they like to lie. I like all this info, though. And Apco style at small points levels? Sweet. That'd be an official way to make my fluff army work.

So, the Inquisition codex, supposedly containing Inquisitor of all 3 major Ordos, GK and Deathwatch (DW)?, will be arriving sometime between July and December - is that right? With DE apparently in December.
Hmmm Think I would have preferred DE first, but certainly not complaining if this is true. Only issue is the SoB... I can see why GK and DW would be combined in an Inquisition book, and why SoB would be seperate... but Sisters just seem more of a (please don't take this the wrong way) 'normal' army whereas Inquisition things are more unusual and therefore more acceptable as a 'wait longer' codex. Bascially I'm saying I'd have thought (possibly even preferred) SoB to be earlier. How have you taken this delay Melissia?
I must stop complaining! Sounds like a groovy schedule to me, and looks to be an interesting/exciting few months ahead of us!

Possibly they're waiting for Mel to finish writing her fan codex before copying it wholesale into Codex: SoB.
Magic 8-ball says....
Sisters at 12 points, frag (possibly krak) grenades, possible removal of Stubborn, reworked Acts of Faith (or possibly even removed altogether - you know how GW likes to simplify), hopefully some new vehicle entries, new plastic models, possibly a new special character or five, Dominions Special Weapons get a point drop, extra special weapons for Celestians, Sisters Repentia hopefully getting something to buff them - (Fleet or being able to ride in transports).

Simplify? Then the AoF will be removed, and added to each sister as a simple stat bonus.
WS5 BS5 S5 T4 W2 I5 A3 Ld11 Sv3+3++ for basic sisters.

It vaguely reminds me of what happens when you let fanboys into the Codex Development.

*stops overseeing orders for the Orinocho to lay waste to GW's Codex writing department* Oh, I see... it was a Req-joke... (phew ) I wasn't over-reacting *scribbles out the words "GW's Codex writing department" on the orders paper, and replaces it with the word "France"* gotta expel the energy on something that won't be missed...

The rumor that I hear a long time ago, was that GW was planing on making a codex with the demon hunters, witch hunters and the xeno hunters all in one codex.
At first, I thought this wouldn't work since it would be a huge book. Too many in one book. But now if the GK and SoB have their own codexs, it might strink the books size down to a normal codex sized book.
It could work, all the Inquisitor stuff could be mixed and matched. Witch hunter stuff with demmon hunter stuff. Most of the demonhunter and witch hunter stuff only (ie no GK or SoB) are the same anyway.
Both the WH and the DH have storm troopers, assassins, Inducted Imperial Guard, Allied Space Marine Contingents. I'm pretty sure the xeno hunters would have the same.
Since the Deathwatch can only deploy 1 or 2 squads at a time, make them the offical troop choice along with storm troopers for any Inquisitor army.
I'm sure GW could make up new tanks and such for a Inquisitor army.

If it's not a bad idea, then they won't do it. Besides, it won't make them as much immediate money, so they won't do it.

About my previous post, it was revealed that all of them except this:
"5. Sisters will not be present in the Dex, but will have there own Codex at a later time."
Is speculation . Effectively, all we know for CERTAIN about it is that it will be a Grey Knights codex, possibly with Inquisition in it. Gotta love how the rumor mill goes back and forth.
That Sisters aren't in the codex, however, is virtually confirmed.

We can but hope for your sake, Mel. Lest this transpire to be GW's misinformation and this is actually a combined Inquisition codex.

Daemon Hunters and Witch Hunters never really deserved separate codices, really, imho an overall =I= Codex to mix and match, or focus on the individual Ordos would be much simpler, swisher, and probably make them more money anyways.
