Unless Air France start operating it with their own equipment, and / or put it on their website and price accordingly, with decent connections, I can't see this route attracting much in terms of worldwide connections?

Certainly most would either drive to Heathrow or go via Amsterdam rather than buying a separate Eastern ticket and then onward travel from CDG.
It is a codeshare with AF (assume like ORY it will be in their booking engine shortly) so it’s not impossible that a certain % of travellers will use this for onward departures through CDG
