Not an expert here, but I'd bet most who are, would take the best of the modern AR platform has to offer in a caliber like 6.5 or 6.8 then any new design still using 5.56. The modern AR is a vetted robust design that seems to do its job if you do yours, but like all designs, is a compromise between various goals.
Many think it's time we get rid of the internal combustion engine (to keep the auto example) but the fact is, costs, logistics, and need, just are not there yet. So, we continue to improve on the basic design because it works.
Don't forget, there's always some group out there "field testing" all manner of stuff reporting to someone, that's likely keeping track of the results to incorporate at some point.
There's some very smart people in the mil among the "others" who recognize a real change in the rifle platform everyjoe uses, is likely going to be a total change from the ground up and the need simply not there compared to the costs, logistics, and current priorities and the AR platform "good enough for gubment work" for some time to come.
That's my understanding anyway.

One thing few folks realize about the M4. A bare bones M4 weighs, what? About 6-7 lbs? It handles heat as well or even better than other rifles weighing 9-12 lbs bare. Folks keep saying we need to improve on this 50 year old design but no one has anything that is as light, durable, accurate, rebuildable, configurable, reliable, simple, easy to use and pleasant to shoot. The whole argument is a tempest in a teapot and while folks keep getting worked up demanding something better, the AR FOW keeps chugging along, doing the job and doing it better than anything else
