Couldn't agree more. Now I'll be forced to wait for a sale on the lower fares and pay an extra $1000 to upgrade, which will almost certainly be more than the M/H fare.
No question in my mind about being screwed. This change will inevitably result in cutting my international travel on United significantly.
