I'm well aware of this. For the flights I'm looking at, at least unrestricted is only offering F inventory in First and Y inventory in economy. In the old website "flexible" yielded the perfect balance of flexibility and fare for my needs -- with the new website, I'm not seeing the difference (as far as flexibility/penalties go) between Flexible and Lowest Available.
