Why would they not go for a new head house, or is this part of the plan to build up once the Star Alliance International Terminal 9 is finished??
Great resource for keeping up to date with the construction progress at LAX

Because T8 is actually not a terminal as it doesn't have landside facility. It is a concourse of T7 so there is no need for a new headhouse.
Also United is not interested in paying for an upgrade of T7.
I like the new plan... renumbering the gates will go a long way to make it clear where you are going. But I would have gone further and combined 4 and 5 into the same terminal branding since that is the operating plan once the T4 headhouse rebuild is complete... AA will have a single check in lobby that spans current T4 and T5.
And I probably would also combine the current T6, T7 and T8 into a single terminal as well.
