Inno has just officially announced that the nerf will remain in beta-only testing until the end of the year.
I think (but this is my opinion only) that it will be implemented on the live servers very shortly before the addition of the new age, therefore during February, to decrease the number of complaints by installing this nerf without change other GbG settings.
I don't want to doubt Juber's words but since when was an adaptation (good or bad) detected on the beta before the live servers?
The disaster of the oracle? Reported from the second day on the FR server even before the beta version detected the flaw.
Concerns about grouping guilds by ID? Reported very quickly on the DE server when no word was said about the beta.
No testing on live servers? Yet the US server was entitled to the chateau system 1 month before the others.
But above all, as Ninjalin rightly points out, no word on possible other modifications to the GbGs!
