Taking a step back and looking at some of the more recent blog posts about cards, I think you may have a point.

Many of the posts are not about churning anymore. They are about what are the best cards to have and hold. Now that I think about it I haven't seen a true 'here is a good churn' post in some time.

I wonder how much of that is due to the influence of the affiliates either because they are overtly warning bloggers not to go on about churning or maybe because bloggers are shifting the focus of their posts about cards because they want to stay in the good graces of their affiliate revenue sources.
