Yeah, but LH sounds distinctly less enthusiastic about their ongoing relationship with MX. LH has not put out any press release on the matter, except for this bit of bad news in the Miles & More newsletter:

News from Mexicana

On March 31, 2004, Mexicana will be leaving the Star Alliance. This means that unfortunately, as of April 01, 2004, you will no longer enjoy the usual Star benefits, such as the accrual of status miles or the Executive Bonus, on Mexicana flights.
