They are just waiting as everyone else regarding the future, promoter and if the new regulations will be successful. If don't they still could do a new Rally2 car.

I wouldn't say waiting, I think MW is rightfully avoiding any possibility of conflict of interest claims while having a plan in the background.

There's no chance of a new Rally2 car in 2028... it'll be a spaceframe chassis with an OEMs road car design, or M-Sports own.

I think Pluto said that 2026 is the last year when it's possible to homologate a Rally2, is that right?

What if WRC27 fail miserably? It would be complete stupidity if they would bot extend Rally2 homologation cycles and kill both cars at the same time. But with FIA I wouldn't be surprised.

If they fail then there won't be a WRC and the sport becomes for historics, tuners and amateurs anyway.
