There is no Klingon Empire to mine for story ideas; this is the same as the old suggestion that Star Trek can't be tapped out because there's still a lot of the galaxy to explore - no one is actually building empires or exploring galaxies; they sit in front of computers and come up with stories from the same well as the folks writing CSI. If the Klingons have been used a lot, they've been used a lot.
I want Khan.

Why would anybody want Khan after having already endured two miserable Khan copies during the last two movies?
I am all for rebooting, breaking out of the shackles of continuity or however you wanna call it. Remaking Khan thrice in a row would be the very opposite of this.

It's not a remake. It's reusing a character in a new version, same as with Kirk or Sarek or Pike.
Aren't they redoing TOS stories in the comics?
Yes, they are and Space Seed can be one of them. Or, if you really gotta have an expanded Khan story in the Nu-verse, how about a new Novelization of it?
Point: save Silver Screen Time for Originality!

Shape-Shifter does make a serious point. If Khan were to make an appearance in the Nu-verse, he could do so in the IDW Comics. I could see that really happening.
As for a novelization, a lot would depend on both Paramount and Pocket Books. They already have three Nu-verse books on hold for some reason.
To make sure they don't conflict with the next movie
I agree, it was not a remake but a horrible copy job.
As their bald Romulan Khan was as bad as the bald pseudo-Romulan Khan from the preceding movie I am not looking forward to a fourth version of Khan. Three times Khan in a row is too repetitive for my taste.
I am a simple guy, I take "reboot" and "going where no one has gone before" literally.
Quite right - no.
I thought they had settled on nomadic Klingon warrior tribes and carnivorous Tribbles?
I'm not and have no interest in posturing as such.
What these guys have done so far pleases me, so whatever they decide they want to do for the next movie is fine.
That Kirk and Spock are the lead characters. The movie will be about them. They are more important than the Klingons or Khan.
In fact, nothing that either of them said can fairly be construed as indicating that Khan is not in the movie - they don't even come close to "non-denial denials;" they simply evade the question.
How anyone got "almost certainly not" out of any of that is a complete mystery. Wishful thinking, I guess.
Fans can speculate all they want. It won't bring them any closer to solving this mystery shrouding the next Star Trek film. Honestly, fans like us won't learn anything until sometime closer to the film's release date.
Unless of course someone knows somebody on the inside at Paramount.

Had everything to do with your "point".
If I may expand and clarify.
Kirk and Spock are the leads, of course they would be used more often than Klingons. Not an apt comparison.
