when I got to the gate GIDS showed 18 seats available in F (one in Y), one name on the UG list; shortly before boarding it was 17/0 (and the UG had cleared), and there were 6 names on the standby list

I can't actually tell how many F seats are taken, but so far I've seen more maintenance people than pax turning left at the 2L door :-/

" ... Medallions, your business and loyalty are greatly appreciated by the entire Delta community" is really pretty disingenuous and almost insulting when DL dilutes the "premium BusinessElite experience" like this
