Sounded like something I'd be interested in, but we haven't heard anything since around April. Do you think they'll talk about it? Are they working on them? Or have they ditched the idea?

Doubt it since they aren't talking about Legacy.
Hopefully not. I'd much rather them just bin this topic and let the private server community have what it wants and let Nost reopen.
No one wants a "pristine" realm.
The idea they are trying to import is that leveling would be fun and maybe even competitive again if they removed all the anti-social anti-world things, but as some one who has leveled 1-60 naked during 7.0, I can tell you that even that is too fast.
The major issue with leveling is the pacing is just a mess, and the damage the player does is out of control.
The game isn't balanced properly, and even if you stay in one zone for its entirety, you get far too much out of it far too quick to the point that you end up skipping most of the surrounding zones.
What I WOULD support is them rebalancing leveling severely and making realms for that.
Make it actually difficult, and no not "difficult" like it was in Classic, where the only difficulty was if you pulled 2 mobs and your 3 abilities couldn't kill them fast enough.
I'm talking about actual mechanics like in Mythic+. High density mobs, mobs you are forced to kite, mobs that do a frontal slash regularly.
In my head, I can picture something like Dark Souls PVE. Every mechanic is very dangerous, but 100 percent avoidable.
I would play that, but would others?
Either way, simply removing heirlooms and LFD is not what people want.
They want a game where everything was shit except the world itself. Classic wow played like a real RPG, and despite its hideous class balance and systems, it still is worth checking out 12 years later just to explore the world in a state where you aren't overpowering everything without any gear on.

What is a pristine realm?
I hope not, every second spent on that stupid idea is a massive waste of time.
Basically current wow with no heirlooms or xp buffs like potions. They mentioned no increase in difficulty of actual levelling so it would just be current WoW with still piss easy levelling it would just take more time. The moment they mentioned the idea it was negatively received.
One thing is for certain, someone should and someone will.
It's up to Blizzard to decide if they do it or not, but someone will inevitably do it
