PS - I don't have any status on DM nor it's my preferred program. So even for upgrades I would be hit with the upgrade fees.
While few details are available, I wouldn't base usage on the merger unless you prefer *A partners to those that will be available in OW. The "new" merged AA will be in OW so if you want to use your miles in the *A go ahead and use them while they're still usable there. Otherwise they'll still be available for use in OW.
