I don't think this think added concourse will address international issues either. Although MSY doesn't have a lot of international flights, but only 2 gates is kind of thin there also. There's already flights to 4 international destinations with seasonal increases and 2 more are coming online next year. Also AM has filed paperwork for flights from Mexico to MSY and beyond so that's probably already in the works for future flights. That's not even considering international charters which are relatively common.

Eta: that 42 gate count for the current terminal is kind of a misnomer as concourse A has been closed for a while. There's only like 36 useable gates now.

It doesn't matter how many gates you have as far as international flights go.

It matters how much demand you have for the international seat.

If you think MSY will involve into a major international airport you are very naive. We will never be the international hub we were in the seventies in eighties and even then it was almost all Central and South America.

I would not be surprised at all to see BA drop than London service within a year.
