Will we see EZY at FRA finally ?

It's a bit of an old topic, and I know the FRA WaitingList doesn't really mean anything, but just spotted that EZY got their wishes pretty much:

1230 A EZY8913 31OCT 23MAR 1234567 319 1305 LGW LGW J W1
1300 D EZY8914 31OCT 23MAR 1234567 319 1335 LGW LGW J W1
1800 A EZY8915 31OCT 23MAR 12345_7 319 1705 LGW LGW J W1
1830 D EZY8916 31OCT 23MAR 12345_7 319 1815 LGW LGW J W1

With the new (landing) runway in operation this autumn, seems quite a sensible time to get a foot in the door at FRA. Mind you, BE cancelling BHX/MAN-FRA soon will leave an opening for them, e.g. MAN/LPL-FRA. FRA-GVA with EZS would be another obvious route, though surely LH would not like FRA to allow that. It's one of LH's money-makers, ask the locals who endure 7-hour-train-rides.

EDIT: There's actually already a EZS request for summer 2012:

1835 A EZS3515 31OCT 23MAR 12345_7 319 1815 GVA GVA J S2
1905 D EZS3516 31OCT 23MAR 12345_7 319 1845 GVA GVA J S2

Again this could mean nothing, as in the past. But they haven't applied for all kind of routes (e.g. MXP) like in the past, just those two. I've dragged-out this article about FRA considering EZY after the new runway opens (put it into the auto-translator of your choice):
