Exactly.
BA used to have invitational Gold for life, too, until it reneged on that arrangement some years ago. Since protests at the abolition of lifetime status on an ongoing airline were unsuccessful, I would think efforts to keep lifetime status in a defunct airline are doomed to failure.
Lots of us in the same boat, btw. Could be worse: we could have lost all our miles and status.
