The article did state that John Leahy told the same publication last week that it wouldn't just be new engines but "perhaps sharklets" or "aerodynamic cleanup", so although it's "new engine option" that's just marketing speak for a new evolution of the design - it's more non-existent than existent at this point, if that makes sense...
