The statements were made quite some time ago that Apple will be moving all products away from CCFL lighting.

, if used in a new line of MacBooks, would answer your original question.

Yes, there are new MacBooks on the way.

How do we know?

Because Apple have stated that they will be moving to the newer method of illuminating the screens on their entire line of products, including the MacBook line.

I'm betting the next generation of MacBooks will be aluminum, like pretty much everything else in Apple's product lineup. I'm not sure how many other users are having similar problems, but my MacBook (less than a year old) has developed cracks in the outer casing in 3 different spots. I have tape in several of the places to keep the plastic from splitting off. Nice look!

Be sure to call that in.

An acquaintance who didn't yell or make a scene get a new casing. Go figure. But they also have the extended Applecare.

Apple never advertise any upcoming new equipment, with the exception of the iPhone, so any "details" of upcoming equipment is usually just rumor.
This rumor can be had all over the internet at the various Mac centric sites. (Google for them)

Help yourself to any or all of the rumors but do not be surprised if none of them turn out to be true.
