Is this topic still going?

Not all of the heightmap is made, just the immediate bits surrounding Skyrim. So for example half of Morrowind is missing, they'd need to recreate the heightmap for the rest of Morrowind, else you'd just have half a province.
It's just for distant LOD. The Skyrim landmass is a lot bigger than the Skyrim depicted in Oblivion. There's not a single other complete province in the heightmaps included in Skyrim.
We might well see a DLC set in another province, like Tribunal's expansion for Morrowind, but there won't be a whole province. They just won't go to the effort of doing that, and if it would be then it would be massively reduced in scale because of time restraints.
Also, about the Daggerfall remake, "I'd love to" is a lot different from "We are going to."
