My guess is that with only FR using it, gates there will likely be remodelled to resemble the bus shelter-style 'perched' seating as currently seen at gates 43, 48 and 50. As for gates 81-88, this will be complicated, as these are one floor down from gates 20-39, as well as well as being shared (e.g. gates 30/88, 32/87).
There doesn’t appear to be any plans for Sat 3.
