That was not my point. A RTW ticket can be purchased 11 months or so in advance of travel, and then be active for a further 12 months. If a passenger pays for a F ticket and within five months finds that F has been withdrawn (as happened to me with ALL the flights I mentioned) one has a right to feel annoyed, particularly as they treat an AONE fare as being "discounted" and therefore non-compensatable.

Exactly. Flying HKG-KIX (for a few days vacation in Kyoto with hotels booked) and with F dumped at 3 months notice, CX is taking their regional F lottery too far. It's made worse as the CX F product is so much better than most of the other airlines, and therefore you know what you're missing and for what you have paid!
