Default Knots being phased out?

MAYBE it will be the default, but knots will still be there. It's all computed in a microprocessor, and it's just a few lines
of firmware to calculate knots, or even furlongs per fortnight..

Hi,
I have been told that all new equipment, chartplotters, speedometers and the like will not have knots as a speed option.
Knots will be phased out and KPH will be the new standard for marine equipment.

Has anybody heard of this?

If so where?

Some links please if available.

Thanks
