Just to be clear, in my initial proposal I said that CQL can never go

Fifty years will go by like that. :-)
I'd mostly worry about the long term cost of either maintaining parity
across 2+ query languages -- adding multi-language support for each new
feature -- or allowing the languages to diverge feature-wise. One leads
to a lot of work, the other leads to a lot of confusion.
