Bottom line is this:
Article 50 was voted through parliament because there was a mandate from the electorate to do so. MPs that voted remain still voted A50 because they knew they had too.
Fast forward nothing has changed. There is lots of discussion but there is no overwhelming mandate to overturn A50.
Unless something happens between now and March, that Parliament thinks would result in turning around the A50 vote it won’t happen.

I think there does seem to be a change in rhetoric as jfman has highlighted. I definitely had not heard no Brexit being mentioned by the Government until recently. Whether this is a case of promoting the current deal to Brexit MPs as "May's deal or no Brexit" (and to Remain MPs as "May's deal or a no-deal Brexit") or whether there's something more substantive behind it, I don't know.
On another note, popcorn tomorrow, folks! In the afternoon, Geoffrey Cox, the attorney-general, will give his statement on the government's legal advice on the withdrawal agreement.
