Do you think this is indicative of a slight route change to avoid potential trouble spots ?

Just being curious
Trouble spots? No. A change like this is normally just a matter of a change to reflect weather changes/to reflect real flight time average changes/etc... If it was an issue with trouble spots they wouldn't be waiting till November to make the change.
