They won't change that. Too many people would leave.
I got a feeling they will want to incorporate the friends list though - Just like it does with our phone books, but with FB friends list....
Which will leave me with less contacts!!! :surrender:
You'll be ok, they'll do it with phone contacts too, like a joint one. It's the same with Instagram, it tells you if a FB contact joins, but doesn't make you follow them and you don't have to have fb to use instagram
