I think that's coming at some point for the big 3. The seats are essentially the same, it would streamline the classes, and Delta/United already have names that don't have to mean exactly Premium Economy (Premium Select / Premium Plus).

I do expect that if it happens, that's when any ability for an elite to upgrade Y --> J when W is available will go away (across all 3 airlines). It is also completing that aspect of true int'l F disappearing while J becomes F and W is the new J.
