To me (as a 1K), increased effectiveness of the UDU program is not currently a concern. I often get the upgrade via UDU and generally use CR1's only for sponsorship as I don't fly P.S. routes. However, I still don't see any benefit in this announcement for a 1K who has regularly logged 110K-140K EQM each year as I have.

To reduced CR-1 benefits
To SWU being deposited at 100K
^ To 75 EQM Upgrade Priority over 1P
To 120EQS threshold for 1K
