So does this obviate the need for a -10 Stretchliner series? (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=506504). The other thread also discusses cannibalizing the 777-200ER market.

While the higher-density seating config brings capacity of the 787-9 very close to the A350-900, it now allows the 787-10 to exceed the A359's seating capacity, lowering per-seat operating costs even more and making the plane that much more attractive to airlines.

So Boeing will launch the 787-10 and sacrifice the 777-200ER, as the 787-10 should see even stronger interest (and once offered, sales) then before.
