May be some confusion in terms here -- when there was a 500 mile min that applied to EQMs at the time of earning, those did count.
UA/UX flights that had 500 miles mins had always been counted in Lifetime miles.
UA flights that did not 500 mile mins -- such as UA Shuttle -- were not adjusted to 500.
A* flights that did not have 500 mile mins at the time of earning where not adjusted. (beleive LH did not always have 500 min but was changed later)
So there was not a banket readjustment for 500 mile mins -- the EQMs based on rules at that time were used on the adjustment.
As for CO OP -- there was no readjustment of those Lifetime credits.
