Not sure about consolidation. Part of me still thinks that the whole refloat was done purely so that if (when) CCE folds for real its assets will go to you-know-who who can then possibly run it as a private business without those pesky shareholders saying mean things about his cat anymore.

And you're right of course. Apart from anything else CCE don't have the money to "grow" anything, GI or whatever else. They have enough cash to operate for 12-24 months, maybe, depending on what shenanigans they pull. This might be enough time to get the Ceto 6 design finished (even though it was announced to be finished 3 years ago now, remember the "long lead items" being ordered?) if they focus real hard and haven't been BSing about the viability of the whole concept since... who knows since when.
