What if he stopped flying today? Although his status was technically BIS-based, if we fast forward to 2013, should the fact that his BHBIAS (butt hasn't been in a seat) in over a year still allow him to have DM status?

That DM is assuming the roll-over program will continue as is through next year. I am not so sure of that...but your point is valid: These people on roll-over would NOT be elite on another airline so in fact the ranks are falsely inflated...and like the National debt: for many years to come if they do not change it.
