I guess we can get around it by booking two one-ways to get 3 connections in each direction to Asia though.

I was reading the post carefully and I am not sure how terrible it will be. I was particularly interested in the last sentence (emphasis mine):
Anyway, I know that agents often say a lot of nonsensical things, but two different reps on two different calls cited the "April 25" memo to me, one of them read it to me, and it seems verified by the computer's rejection of BKK-SIN-IST-FRA-EWR-LAS. The "system" now only allows 3 connections (4 segments) on a one way from US to Asia, or 4 connections (5 segments) on each leg of a round trip between U.S. and Asia.
Depending on exactly how this ("on each leg") is implemented, how would it affect an award R/T that includes stopovers and open jaws? Could each leg be between the origin, open jaw and destination?
