Definitely believe it.
After being GS since the beginning of the program I was dropped. This past year I had 45k spend, 81k FF miles and 135k BIS.
In an odd way, it was stressful waiting for this news. But looking back, I only managed to upgrade my INTL flights (my major travel) 70% of the time on full fare tickets. The only consistent benefit was fast entry at SFO and also having the nice telephone staff in Detroit.
Now no longer "working" to maintain status will free me to take better in air service on Lufthansa and still maintain the same 1k level.

With VX into PHL now and better foreign flag carriers for my int'l C trips, they'll get what they consider me, 100k in low fare domestic.
