That time tested design is a hole in the current CF guitar lineup.

The problem for CF builders is, the time tested design tends to appeal to traditional nylon classical players who are very used to tradition and are even less likely to venture into the world of CFs than wood steel string players even if the neck specs were designed to specifically appeal to them. So cracking that nut likely isn't the market that CF builders are aiming for...at least for quite some time. Rather, as CF builders are already focussed on steel string instruments, offering such players a nylon option has much greater chance of acceptance to make it worthwhile enough to try at all.
