Thanks for the positive response, folks!
I opened this thread on continuous special requests from some fellow flyertalker within the last half year.
I see the strength in this compilation to know about the quality of a specific booking class, especially for mileage/voucher redemption purposes. The weakness, that this list is already outdated. My source is the latest printed addition of the *A product & service guide I have access to (unfortunately - as peter42 pointed out - there are typing errors). If I gain access to an updated edition, I will edit the opener, but as the system is so volatile and there are individual exceptions all the time, I stick to this product.
IMO for individual needs on specific flights the best source available for the general public I know is this availability tool.
