2015 MVP: Bye Delta? Miles now based on fare class.
Email just received:
Link in the email was broken:

But partner accrual page is updated:

As expected, Alaska won't be the haven for people still flying Delta and wanting to keep all their miles.
Delta Changes Ahead
There will be some changes beginning January 1, 2015 to how you earn Mileage Plan miles with Delta. In this new arrangement your miles will be earned based on fare class, rather than distance flown.

Just saw this too, but the links are not working so no details at this time it looks like on what the specifics look like...
It actually appears that they took down the blog post, so maybe it was posted prematurely and needs to be updated.

Thanks to the person that started the wiki.
MVP75K 125% bonus is huge, that's something that Diamonds used to get, and that's a tier at 125K.
