It seems that the new policy is just a protection for the airlines,in the same way like they can refuse access to the lounge on "capacity restriction" basis/excuse,but it happens very rarely (appart from a few individual outstations).
But this makes it difficult to plan your trips. You now need to factor in a long transit JUST IN CASE one check in agent decides not to check your bags through.
