Not really; it's a phased build, and it's better to rename them now so people have time to get used to them before the new concourses are open.
They're planning to open the western part of the South Concourse (new-A) and North Concourse (new-B) in 2020, which is only a couple of years away. At that time, the current concourses will still be in use as well.
See
https://www.slcairport.com/assets/Th...-Concourse.JPG for an overlay diagram; the interim configuration will be the western half of the new concourse, the new main terminal, and a connection to the existing concourses on the east side (originally named A-D from east to west but will be G F C D after the renamings). Part of E is already gone and the rest will go away soon.
