Is the plan really to cut Yellow Lines out of Huntington, or will they just widen the headways slightly the way they used to on the Blue Line to accomodate the Orange Line trippers?

That schema may work under the present configuration of the lines on the railroad.

Changing headways on the Blue 'might' affect Orange and future Silver line headways on the C, D trunk. It will also likely produce similar affects to headway on the Green line.

If the tripper schema you describe is used to maintain the present TPH out of Huntington after the Aqua line is rolled out, WMATA will not be able to honestly advertise 6 minute headways on the branches and 3 minute headways on trunks.
