For those that think that LH are keeping the 747-8
The Aviation Week article that is based on was written about a misunderstanding of the reporter during an impromptu session with the then CEO on the sidelines of last year's IATA AGM. It was later clarified that they were talking about the 747-400s. The article text was kind of updated, but for some reason the headline and the lead in paragraph was not.

All subsequent interviews and reports talked about the 744s. If you think about it, the way LH uses their frames, it makes sense.

Additionally, Lufthansa recently accelerated their deliveries for the 748s, wanting to get more of them into service quickly, and seem to be quite happy with the revenue that they generate.
