My sense is that ... and I'll answer Caty here too ... if they completely drop the topic, it would be untrue to the huge S/J story arc, beginning with Divide and Conquer (which they fully acknowledged in the beginning of Threads).
Additionally, it would be untrue to the character development and the things I posted before about Grace and Threads. Sam came to conclusions in Grace, played them out, realized some of them were wrong and corrected them in Threads. To not continue something in Season 9 or heaven forbid pair her with some other guy would be completely out of character for Sam.
That being said, of course I'm a little scared that TPTB will do something stupid and drop everything...just move on with the new guys and let us all down. But I personally believe that it would be a suicidal move because of how un-Samlike it would be for her to not even think or mention Jack. I mean, if they wanted to abandon the Sam/Jack issue entirely, they could have either avoided it like the plague or they could have made Sam really love and marry Pete...and Jack could have stayed with Kerry. But that didn't happen...they both came to their senses.
So, IMHO, if their intention was to completely ignore J/S shipping, then Threads would have been the time to set in stone that they didn't love each other and were really moving on. But since that didn't happen and Sam and Jack are starting to openly acknowledge their feelings beyond just "okay there's something there beyond what I'm supposed to feel," then there had better be something referencing this major development in Season 9. Otherwise, Threads would make no sense.

(((Uber))) I don't think they will completely ignore the Sam and Jack ship in season 9 but they may do an opening season a la lost city 2 followed by new order 1 ..Do you see what I mean??!!! ..with no mention of it ...and the ship will be there later when Sam
Spoiler:
] comes back with a mention of Jack ...Hopefully, she won't say "Don't know , haven't seen him " or turns up at SGC and says to Teal'c and Daniel "Where is Jack?"" like she has not seen him for like 1 month Then yeah I expect TPTB not to drop the ship but only there occasionally like every 5 episode. I'm worried that we will get a lot of episodes with no mention of Sam and Jack ship at all .
Stargate TPTB is very good at ignoring the ship when they feel like it and they can do it for a few episodes in a row
