Well, sure, but those concept drawings put a gleam in my eye, but nothing more. They were done in 2010 (or earlier).
I doubt there's significant debate on what facilities are needed and the general overall footprint (although perhaps they would make it extendable, or build only one wing at first).
It's a money issue, and despite it hanging out there for years there hasn't been any open talk of moving past the general concept/wish.
