You know, I hadn't thought much about that, but my guess would be that they'll keep the current immigration and customs facilities and add another at the new terminal. Otherwise, a passenger arriving at an existing E gate would have to schlepp on foot through a tunnel to a new immigration/customs area, since they wouldn't have been cleared for using the people mover. Alternatively, if the facilities are only kept in the new location, they do it in reverse, then backtrack to the terminal.
I agree, though, that for international passengers ending in Atlanta, it's a huge improvement. I just had to write a detailed instruction sheet for a group of folks coming from Europe next month that don't speak any English.
