New ship consoles can be used on any other ships, but are previous consoles going to be?

I do love that new consoles can be used on other ships; the Manheim and Temporal Backstep consoles being universal was a shock, but there are still so many consoles that are bound to their original ships...the Scimitars, the Shrapnel Warp Core; some consoles that are part of sets that can only be used by one particular ship, even when others consoles in that set can be used on anything, etc.

Just like the Wells and Mobius' T5-U consoles were made universal, is it possible or will it actually happen, that other ship-bound consoles will be made available to other ships in the future?

    Possible, yes, but probably rare that existing ship-locked consoles will become truly universal. The latest Voth T6 ship uplifts didn't allow the consoles to be used on any ship, so it seems to not be a matter of the particular console needing to be worked on (as those consoles had to be when given passives at T6), but some other factors being involved. They allowed any ship on the Avenger/Arbiter (and allied equiv.) console set seemingly due to the complaints that it couldn't be used on other ships called battlecrusers. Jem'Hadar consoles got updated after the new Temporal Warship wasn't compatible, maybe some backend issue was preventing it and they just turned on some sort of allow all function. If complications on compatibility with ships is an issue, it could be that the Temporal T6 consoles weren't able to be used on the Krenim Annorax (no way to know player side, since fixed before release of the new consoles) until made truly universal.

    It would be nice to have some of the older locked to ship consoles be used on any ship, but I think it's still a rare chance. Also, Scimitar consoles would likely be locked to Warbirds only, given that the Mogai's set is.

    There is that one console, which I think comes on the Anorax and says "can be used on any Kremin ship", but it won't slot on the Kremin Science Vessel.
