My understanding is that this is a temporary solution until they can find a solution to the issues around where to store the catering for CE.
Raffles does suggest though that this will test the demand for CE and if demand is less price sensitive than they think, they could reduce the cabin on a permanent basis. I would doubt that as they must have quite a clear idea about demand elasticity from the way they open and close fare buckets.
