Agreed. During the MRTC era, there were 20 F seats and a mere four rows ahead of the exits - those seats featured legroom that rivaled the exit rows. Plus closets behind the fifth row of F. Remove two more rows of economy, add one row of F for a seat count of 20F/126Y (total of 146).

It's possible but it results in lotsa space for the resulting four rows of MCE; perhaps they could be labeled MCE+++.
