What happened to the Dominion fleet in 'Sacrifice of Angels'?

Outside of linear time they slowly learnt from the Prophets, evolved to a higher plane and became the "origin" so to speak of the Pah Wraiths, orchestrated all kinds of nonsense, possessed Dukat and were destroyed by Sisko in the Fire Caves.
They really don't like him.
They really don't like him.
So they were "evil", only because they were bred as jem'hadar and couldn't transcend that, not even with Prophet level education ?
In a way, I really don't like that thought.

The Prophets make them play baseball endlessly.
I would actually have rather liked that idea.
I think they probably just disintegrated.
For a more intriguing question - what happened to Sisko in What You Leave Behind? He wasn't actually dead, and he suggested that he might return ("It might be a year, or it might be yesterday."), though at this point it would be 2394 in the TNG time-scale and there's no sign of a revival.

Effectively he was dead. Behr has said Sisko is never coming back.
^ But Avery Brooks said he would, and so I believe *him*.
^I believe the man with the money.
I know the relaunch isn't canon, but didn't Sisko come back in the relaunch?
Perhaps he has. The argument often put forward around here is that the litverse can fill in for what is not explicit in the canonical sources. What is written in the novels can serve as a plausible explanation of what might happen ... until canon proves otherwise. Ira Steven Behr, the showrunner and the writer of the episodes with the most important plot developments of the series, has said Sisko is never coming back. I think that is a definitive answer as to what would be canonical if DS9 were revived in some form.
And yet if a revival happened, fan demand might make him change his mind.
Time has disproven Brooks' assertion about that. DS9 went off the air 16 years ago and Sisko never came back in that time.
Even when it was his turn to come back in a DS9 movie, after the TNG movies ended, he never came back.
He's also not coming back in the foreseeable future. He's not ever coming back.
How long should one wait for him to come back, before deciding that he never will? 20 years? 25 years? 40 years? 50 years?
As for what happened to the fleet, they were sent to temple with Sisko to torment him as the penance that he has to pay for lazily using a deus ex machina gimmick to get out of that jam...the wormhole aliens even promised that he had to pay a penance, yet they never actually charged it to him within the series itself...so he must be paying that charge now with his unwanted Jemmy companions.
That's enough for some of us. I always took the "penance to be exacted" to be the fact that he wasn't allowed to live a happy life with Cassidy and Jake on Bajor, but instead had to sacrifice himself for the good cause, ultimately plunging himself with Dukat into the Fire Caves. Especially since the Prophets remark immediately after "a penance must be exacted" that "The Sisko is of Bajor, but he will find no rest there. His pagh will follow another path."
(Then again, that could always have been his predestined path, with or without penance.)
