I predict that his prediction is wrong. Facebook already has an asymmetric relationship for "pages". I instead suspect that they may add "fans" for regular people. Changing the semantics of the default "friends" relationship has serious implications on their very carefully crafted (and highly effective!) privacy controls. This is a much smaller change that still yields the four possible relationships and maps more directly to their current privacy model.
