My former 'normaly earned' in calendar years 2006 and 2007 SEN status would have ended by feb-2010, and I made 0 status miles in 2008 and 2009 ...

The new SEN card looks like the old one, has again imprinted an expiry of 2 years (feb-2012), but I expect from now on automatic renewal every 2nd year.
