No.

The changes planned won't create any additional capacity, they will just allow pax to walk to gates rather than taking the buses out of 35x.

The perimeter restrictions could all be eliminated tomorrow but won't because MWAA has to force people out to IAD. Sadly the current FAA re-authorization does not contain any new beyond-perimeter exemptions.
