This is what I expect as well. Not seeing some dark plot by DL, but like you and others just basing it on the lack of availability when trying to use SWUs today. It's painful, and I just don't have time to call DL and a) hope I get someone who knows what they're doing and b) even if they do, it's a point in time search. I can't imagine most of us having time to repeat the above over and over. I still have most of my SWUs from this year.
To offset this devaluation, I really wish (I know, wishful thinking) that they'd take away complimentary SC membership in exchange for double the GUs....which would be far more valuable, assuming we can actually use them (see previous comments).
