I doubt that there'll be any interest in adopting AV2 if it ever gets finished. By then AV1 will be pretty well optimized and AV2 won't offer any improvement of particular significance.
Nothing wrong with DCT on blocks, worked well for a long time and still does .
It's a bit like squeezing out everything from current microprocessors and other modern technology, eventually you simply reach what is actually possible without going off into ridiculous complexity/cost. Daala is a good codec with a different design, but doesn't have a huge benefit over HEVC/AV1. Same with wavelets.

I doubt the Alliance will release a new codec if they can't make it at least 30% better than AV1. If there is no AV2, we will at least have a solid codec that is royalty free to depend on. Nothing wrong with a long lasting standard when you don't have to replace hardware/software and re-encode everything.
