Whilst they haven't yet announced the closure of their F lounge, it can only be a matter of time. So T7 is getting emptier and emptier, and UA could soon make do with a corner office in any old terminal. But you're right, it would need to be pulled down or totally refurbished to be made anywhere as nice as T8. *A is currently split between four terminals, and OW between two. If they could ever be spliced into one home each I'm sure that would be an improvement to everybody in this messy airport.
