Yeah, that it won’t be cut short.
Nothing is being cut short here.
But what you had usually number wise is changed so instead of a .2 or .3 soon, you’ll have one major patch lower because the patch cycle has been drawn out.
I’m surprised people are still hoping for something that is clearly inevitable. Do you guys love SL that much 
They won’t make sweeping changes like they can with a new expansion. So seeing if they fix stuff or whatever or ‘learn their lesson’ as some put it is silly non sense that won’t happen. They are confined within what they developed… tweaks and such sure but they won’t outright scrap core systems.
So the change you want to see won’t be coming in major patches. That’s open for a new expansion to show whether they did something you wanted to see or are doing the same old stuff.
I think 9.1 has been a combination of a 9.1 patch and a 9.2 patch .
The only thing it has lacked is a .1 mini raid but if you look at it 9.1 has given us flying and a mega dungeon which both usually come in a .2 patch as well as 9.1.5 which will introduce a lot of the catchup that normally comes in a .2.5 patch .
I think 9.3 will be rolled into the rest of 9.2 as part of that patch .
This would be a short expansion as far as number of patches like WoD but the difference is
WoD 6.1 was the SELFIE patch and Flying as well as catch up came in 6.2
SL 9.1 has a Full raid , mega dungeon , flying and proper catch up coming in 9.1.5. Things we would possibly get in a .1 and .2 combined .

I want this expansion gone as soon as possible. I want it gone so bad I’d welcome being sent back through time play a patch in Draenor as a break from the Bland Beige that is this Yawnlands.
I tell you what will happen. We will get 9.1.5 around the end of this month. That will last through Christmas as 9.2 goes into Alpha/Beta in November. We will then get 9.2 about February. Then along comes the online Blizzcon at which time they will announce a truncated Shadowlands, the details of the next expac and release of that around October/November to get the game back on schedule.
Id lay money on it. They want to attract people back to the game and extending this expansion anymore would be a huge fail.
