SN and JFK

So I know that the matter of there now being 5 airlines on the BRU to NYC route has been discussed before, with the 5 operating 6 daily flights departing within 70 minutes of each other.

About two weeks ago, I noticed that SN's flight was not available to book post-Winter schedule, ending March 30. I contacted SN regarding this, wondering whether this was just a matter of the schedule not yet being extended into S13, or if in fact the flight would be terminated from March 30. The response I received stated this:
It is still unclear if the flights to New York will be offered after March 30th as the contracts between the airports and Brussels Airlines are not ok yet.
Today, airlineroute had this posted this, stating that 9W has cut BRU-JFK from Sept 10.

Is it likely that LH pushed 9W to cancel the leg in order to feed pax onto SN, and that SN will now extend the flight past March?
