That seems pretty damn unlikely. Atlantis I think is the most likely
candidate to be the first orbiter "retired" as it has gone the longest
without at OMM. Even with the arguement that a lot of work has been
done during the stand-down.

With the delays for 121, NASA will probably get Endeavour back flying,
and use all three orbiters, retire Atlantis after a few flights,
forgoing an OMM, then close off the program with Discovery and
Endeavour.
