Still, I'm not sure UA wants to give up the incremental revenue derived from miles and co-pay upgrades to make instrument upgrades for 1Ks easier.
Yes, more likely to create a 1K only fare class similar (non-)availability to today's PZ and all else would waitlist an even less available inventory.
That is something I could believe could happen. But more complexity in the presently broken system is probably not high on the priority list.
