In theory, you could:
Both Corsairs and Harlies have far too few options to really be their own list. I could see a Corsairs/Harlies/Ynnari book, but they'd have to be usable with CWE or DE books.

...Since when? The Mymeara list had 22 different unit entries in it (Prince, Voidseer, Baron, Reavers, Ghostwalkers, Cloud Dancers, Falcon, Venom, Voidstorm, Malevolents, Wasps, Hornets, Vypers, Nightwings, Phoenix, Balestrike, Warp Hunter, Firestorm, Fire Prism, Night Spinner, Lynx, and Vampire); and the way 8e organizes datasheets there could be as many as 11 more from splitting off jetbike versions of characters and jetpack versions of both characters and squads.

If the Corsairs have too few units to be a Codex then you should be taking a good hard look at the Custodes, Grey Knights, Imperial Knights, AdMech...

Corsairs *had* too many. Corsairs *have* too few.

Because when GW said they wouldn't squat a faction anymore, they meant until they squat another faction.

Corsairs are basically written as "We use CWE and DE stuff".

Looking at that list, they really just have:
-Basic troops
-Elite version of basic troops
-Heavy Support version of basic troops
-Bikers
-Basic HQ (CC, Psker, and Lt-level)

Everything else were/are choices for CWE or DE.

...I mean, you could read it that way, though if you're going to I might start asking why Craftworlders and Dark Eldar are different Codexes. You seem prepared to discount Ghostwalkers as "basically just Rangers", for instance, and if that's the case Dark Eldar Warriors are basically just Guardians, Scourges are basically just Swooping Hawks (the statline is the same and the special rules are very similar, and the rest is just wargear, right?)...

No, I discount Rangers as "Just Ghostwalkers". "Ghostwalkers", with the options they had, is what the Ranger entry should be. Including not having the <Craftworld> keyword (although they should have the option of Asuryani).

(I, too, lament the loss of the Corsairs list. My suggestion is based on what Corsairs *currently* have.)
