That's inaccurate in several ways.
Flights booked now but departing after 4/15 are already subject to the new rule.
And the rule applies not just to waitlisting, but other inherited perks. Including, apparently, the ability to use a GS GPU to upgrade an award ticket for someone else (although will need more data points to conclude this is truly going to be the rule).
