The scope for grandfathering was beginning to run out, anyway.
Once the 777X is certificated, it's hard to see what other candidates there might be - Airbus have already applied the Neo treatment to all of their legacy narrow- and wide-body family, there clearly aren't going to be any further 747 deelopments, so what does that leave ?
