Seems it may indeed happen: It's reported that the 3-per-week Brussels-Vienna Nightjet is set to become daily from Dec 2023, combined with a new daily Nightjet from Brussels to Berlin (in addition to @EuropeanSlpr's new train, so yes, TWO sleeper trains Brussels-Berlin!)...

Whenever they tell you a change is impossible, show them Utrecht. An urban freeway with many lanes can become a green park with a beautiful canal. Instead of a car sewer, the water flows.
