I'm interested in lower-category hotels in Dallas or Houston area and from this prospective this 'develuation' is actually quite favorable as:
Hampton Inn Dallas-Addison will be Category 2 (10,000 points) vs. 25,000 points now
Hilton Houston Southwest will be Category 3 (20,000 points) vs. 30,000 points now

Though I empathize to those interested in Bora Bora, NYC Time Square and other top-end redemptions, for those interested in staying in not-so-hot properties in not-so-popular destinations the recent changes actually brought the program within reason (previously in my view for Dallas and Houston redemptions Marriott was way ahead of Hilton, now I would say they are somewhat on the same level)
