My original knee-jerk reaction was that this change would impact me negatively, but after mapping out all my planned travel for the year with upgrade opportunities and spending far too many hours reading the 'other' post, I have now concluded that I definitely support this change and will continue to fly AC exclusively in 2011.

I know this is mainly due to the fact that I did make it to SE for 2011 (2010 = E), so my ability to upgrade is only somewhat less than last year and I should have significantly less competition when I try to upgrade this year.

But, I will add that if I had only made it to E for 2011, I'd be crying the blues (and at some point in the future, when I do eventually 'downgrade' back to E, I will be the crazy lady in Y class sobbing uncontrollably).
