(Ideally they would have more moonbuggy portals so one didn't have to walk the entire length of the C concourse sometimes.)

Not sure about walkway - it's already pretty long. The new C/D will elminate most of that walk and will be built "atop" the existing C station, and will align with the future D station planned for the other end of the new C/D concourse.
I can't remember where the Midfield is as I'm O/D here but wouldn't that need a people mover as well? If the concern raised multiple times is the age of those movers, shouldn't there be a better plan to obsolete them?
