I only hope they'll upgrade the entire cabin to whatever next gen C product they have in the works (or keep the same pmUA C seats)...the current 2-class 763/4 seats are ridiculously short, like really short. Not something I'd ever pay for.
I think keeping the existing J seats would be a wise move from a capex standpoint. I'm sure they could be reconfigured into a 30J arrangement with the existing hardware, plus a few seat units from outgoing birds, though for purposes of commonality I suspect we will probably see the same sCO seats.

My gut tells me the next-gen biz seat will not be compatible with the 767 cross-section.
