That has changed, although increasingly there are few places without signifcant LCC service already in place. Two places with little LCC action that come to mind are CVG and GSO, but each have their issues.
I could see them trying another midwest/great plains focus city (see OMA) if they can find the right opportunity. If they have plans for Caribbean expansion or even more Central America service you have to wonder if it makes sense to have a southern focus city where they could connect passengers heading south. I'm not sure how many people would be willing to connect in MKE to head to Jamaica unless they are already in the north. There is a reason B6 and FL have hubs in MCO/FLL.
