Unless they add a lot of plumbing, I don't see it happening on this "Upgraded" DC9.
They put the First Class lav tank in the tail cone and give everyone free drinks.
Half prior to top of descent they hand out two day old Moe's burritos in coach and lock the aft lav.
Also helps reduce turn time from 47 to 18 minutes.
