Well that could equally lead to ask why good news
In a nutshell, no, no one has flown it or the 778 yet, but the specs are known, such as some of the elements kept from the 787 which I personally don't like, the fact that similar capacity to the A350 is achieved with a wider cabin with at least one more seat intended per row and some low cost airlines working on plans to see if they might be able to fit an 11th one (we know where this has led on the 77W), etc.
So for me it's bad news because it's an arbitration between the 77X and the 35X and I would have much preferred them to make the other choice which I consider to currently be the most comfortable long haul commercial plane in the sky...
