I've never seen that rumor and don't know where you got it from, but that is simply not true. Starting in Februrary, ALL 46 intl. 777s are getting reconfigured nose to tail. They are still all relatively new and still efficent, regardless of UA ordering new planes to replace/supplement the 747/767 fleet. The 777s are not going anywhere.
