Could you tell us please what is the "new feature" and how it will differ and/or add to the available information?
The new feature is what is available on the preview site today. Now for each flight in your reservation you will know if your upgrade is waitlisted, confirmed or requested (depending on GPU, RPU, CPU, etc.). It still gives you absolutely no idea how many seats are available in first class inventory buckets.

I also don't buy the argument of screen scraping. Anyone can pay $99 for an ExpertFlyer subscription and get all the data they want for UA flights.
