Bungie has been pretty set on "temporal valuation" of content. I've had to go against my OCD/completionist nature and convince myself that I really don't care about stuff that's obtained from parts of the game that I don't enjoy.
While they've expressed such a position, they haven't really executed upon it a great degree (from my non-completionist perspective).
- They've rotated Bright Engram contents, removing the unique Legendary armor sets, but inserted all other seasonal cosmetics into the pool of goods from Tess.
- They've made ornaments for specific Vendor sets that are season-exclusive
- They made stuff for the Dawning (that might return for subsequent iterations of the Dawning)
None of that content falls under what we might call "gameplay-affecting objects", which the Catalysts definitely are, and I just don't think they're going to risk summoning consumer wrath by truly restricting acquisition of those Catalysts to this summer's rallies.

I very much hope you're right, because otherwise I won't see any of the Faction Rally catalysts.

I'm annoyed because the one reason I'm really grinding is, in all my hours sunk into Warmind, I've only gotten the DARCI Catalyst. I want the GL catalyst so I can at least have a full set of MW for Trials and whatever else I end up doing. If they hadn't made MW catalyst so rare I probably wouldn't be grinding at all.

I look forward for the week long adjustment period of arc titans hurling themselves off the map for my convenience and amusement.
Apparently the Nightfall grants 14-18 faction tokens so grinding that might be worth a look I guess since you can double whammy of looking for the Nightfall specific loot as well.
Datto pointed out that new Arc Titan super might be a version of Death From Above which, YES PLZ
Yeah, it looked like:
1. Arc Titans get OG Smash w/built-in DFA
2. Sunbros get bigger hammer that makes tornadoes
3. Voidlock gets 3rd-person super-blink mode with AoE attacks
4. Stormcaller gets Cyclops blast
5. Nightstalkers get D1 Arcblade w/built in invis-effect, because they're the true weeb of the Destiny universe
6. Gunslingers get Solar Knives that fan out, kinda like a shotgun version of Golden Gun?
7. Arcstrider can deflect attacks with their staff
8. Sentinel was shown doing Bubble, but that doesn't say much
9. Didn't see Sunsinger anywhere

Woo, and then we can talk in game instead of always alt-tabbing! Unless of course you miss have the text chat anyway because they put it on the right side of the screen. Like seriously, I don't care seeing all the loot spam on the left side where god intended chat to go.

WOAH WAIT WHAT
yeah it's more towards the end of the vidoc. Void hunter invaded the other team and popped a super that showed up as Shadowmark and the kill feed popped up with "Void Blade" while they were naruto running around and dashing through people

There was a shot of Sentinel and Dawnblade popping supers at the same time, Bubble was extra large and red tinted, while the Dawnblade inside was kneeling with their sword in the ground. My wild speculation is some kind of super synergy system
Also, the ornaments for each faction are not shared across characters. Each character has to grind all 5 themselves.
This is likely to be a far more annoying grind then the actual tokens. Especially since not everyone will have 5 pieces to start with, which you will need for 2 of the 5 ornaments.
So, wait. They made pledging account-wide, sticking you with one faction for the duration of the event across all three characters, but the unlocks aren't?
Yeah, forget this event.
Yeah, each class has it's own ornaments for each faction. It's a bit of a pain in the ass. Mostly because of the whole "Need to be wearing the armour" requirements on 2 of the ornaments, so you need to dress up all 3 characters.
"Bit of a pain in the ass" is a profound understatement.

From the most recent Development Roadmap:
(Destiny) Doot Doot, Shoot Brutes for New Boots, Woot Woot for Rad Suits and Phat Loots
But high grind + week cutoff + rich get richer aspects + no unlocks on alts has me pretty soured on this event
And I like the renown stuff! I think its fun! But the economy aspect of it is... sigh
