I just relocated to DFW and this will be my life.

Well, even if they did upgrade, as I understand it the upgrade timestamp is preserved on same-day changes. So if they requested upgrades before you on the original itinerary, they'd be above you on their new flight. And as fezzington noted, upgrades will soon be prioritized by annual spend anyway, so this will be moot in a couple months
