Reviving an old put-on-hold Step possibility

[The Wanderer]

Yep, confirmed by Joss Whedon (and very much against his wishes)... there's probably still a chance of someone else picking it up, but the WB isn't interested in it anymore. My brother thinks that that's because, while it's still picking up ratings, it isn't getting good ratings in their preferred target demographic, so they want to dump it.
Anyway, because there's no chance of anything being written for a possible Step set there before the season ends, there's plenty of time to reverse again if the series ends up continuing - I just wanted to inquire about possibilities in the event that it does not.
