Whilst this is not (yet) on AA.com, the mobile site for AA.com (
http://mobile.aa.com) now shows the following on the account summary page:
AAdvantage miles earned through select mileage activity count toward Million MilerSM status.
The Million Miler program rewards AAdvantage members with additional benefits when specific mileage thresholds are achieved.
To learn more, read about the Million Miler program
The link to read more about the program does not work.
It looks from this as if: (a) the program is here to stay, but (b) not all miles will count towards future million miler status attainments. The language suggests that it will be not just flown miles that count.

MODERATOR'S NOTE
8/24/11 This change has now been announced officially, effective December 1, 2011:

N.B. When (if) an announcement is made by American Airlines about (or if there is other reliable evidence of) significant changes to the Million Miler / lifetime status program, we will be sure to add that ere and start a new thread (whilst closing this one with a referral link). For the time being there is still a lifetime Gold for 1 million miles earned from any source, and lifetime Platinum for 2M miles earned from any source.
