Now it's clear why Soyuz MS-16 will launch with two Russian cosmonauts and a Japanese astronaut in March/April 2020. The other USOS crew will launch on the first manned Starliner right around January.

Any news about Ferguson? He is still in the crew for the first flight of Starliner?

Yes, Chris Ferguson is still a member of the Starliner crew test, along with Mike Fincke and Nicole Mann. The three are undergoing training for the mission, as these photos show.
