Y seat programme for *A

Hello guys, I just read on a *A Press Release from yesterday that they started a partnership/joint with seat manufacturer B/E Aerospace to produce Y long-haul seats for the member carriers. Although it is supposed to have 2 different seat versions, does it mean that they would have kind of a "standard" Y seat for many *A members?
Wouldn't that risk the airlines competition within the alliance (even though they state it otherwise), or may be not much, as Y class passengers aren't much influenced by the in-flight carachteristics as C and F passengers are?
Does anyone know anything else about this new seat?
The link to the press release is here

Lauching members will be OS, LH and Air China
