Is this true about soft landings? I fear they have gone.

All over the web it says they have gone eg http://generalcurtis.com/2011/03/02/...soft-landings/

and to quote the key line:

Due to Delta’s MQM and MQS rollover, there are no longer any “soft landings.” Meaning, if you were Platinum Medallion and did not fly enough to qualify for GM or SM, you will be dropped to your earned level. For some, that means a drop to no status. In previous years, you could only drop a single level, so from Platinum to Gold or from Gold to Silver.
