Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - Does Etihad comp GF status?

With the demise of the GF routes out of Dublin and the incoming Etihad flights, I wonder if anybody know if Etihad would comp my GF Gold Status?

I rather do use Etihad than going via LHR to get GF.

I asked similar questions when the Etihad program was launched and was told, "no". Since I relocated to Abu Dhabi, the decision to use Etihad is easy and I am thrilled.
