There is also the impeding possible problem of how does the B777X get certified. The FAA will not want their hands "burnt" twice therefore they will want everyone to see how they certify that "new" aircraft. Not much composite on the present B777 so that plus folding wingtips could take the B777X far enough away from claiming "grandfather rights". 2020 could turn out to be an "interesting" year.
