From the "How are WMATA's trains moved to different lines?" thread:
In the meantime, Metro could run an express bus, King Street - Eisenhower - National Harbor - the Outlets, and another south from Anacostia through JB Anacostia-Bolling. These are the types of services that VA, MD, or DC wouldn't fund on their own.

There is already a fair amount of traffic on the E & F routes, and it wouldn't help timing to create a situation at L'Enfant akin to the Blue-Orange-Silver mess at Rosslyn.
