In my case, I know I will have flight 'down' time. It allows me to know I will not have to reboot. I would have taken the option to have a 'level freeze' for a year every few years (i.e. 'don't lose diamond when you seat at home for a year and watch your kids grow...') but the rollover provides me some of this flex.
I am VERY concern that we did not see any of the 2012 program benefits yet. All major US-based programs announced them already, and so did the big non-US ones. I am concern we will see negative changes with retroactive affect (for tickets booked before the changes were established).
