Unless the US DoD have struck some kind of deal with Boeing (Maybe accelerate KC-Y on the premise that it will require a smaller tanker, ergo Boeing 767) then I am afraid I think todays announcement on KC-X will be nothing more than a paper work excercise preceding an intense legal battle. I doubt we will see the real KC-X award this side of 2013 unless some kind of behind the scenes deal is struck with both bidders.
