They are nearing the end of th Kona run and plan to replace it with something else. Fine with me. It's by far the most normal of the lot.

Depending on how well it goes, the next phase will be a full test, involving stores all over the US. Current plans include phasing out the breakfast sandwiches, which would free up space for Clover machines. I hope it goes as planned. I'd love to see Starbucks focus on making the best coffee possible and leaving sandwiches to someone else.
