Good! I was thinking just a few weeks ago how diluted SkyPriority had become.

For Silver members this can be a big loss, for SkyPriority passengers it's not a huge improvement.

Not a big loss for Silver, since at least on KLM I have rarely seen this work anyway.

And they expect KLM gate agents to enforce this? The same agents who have so far been unable or unwilling to implement SkyPriority are now expected to make distinctions between three categories of passengers?
