In fact, I hope it is and I hope non-Australia based high-tier QF FFs are not becoming unwanted. We DO bring some value to QF despite not being based in Australia any more.
*Sorry Traveloguy, I'm not calling you an 'old bag'!
I am completely with you on this one, and I think I have proven my cynical old bag tendencies well and truly here on FT over the years.
What reinforces this was a comment made by a QF premium desk rep who when I complained (nicely) about the recent lounge changes, she also suggested that perhaps it was time to look at crediting QF flights to there. To use her words "you know they are oneworld too"!
The irony is that the upcoming BD changes will almost certainly yield a BA status match, although in my case I still have 18 or so months left with QF based on current earning and I suspect BD might have 7 months as best.
