The entire upgrade list looks like this with gaps all over the place. What gives?

Join the club...very confusing....as expected, despite the "Premium Class waitlisted" designation, I still end up in Y or clearing into F....although I have noticed that if I book far enough out before the plane gets the "Premium Class" designation, I can pre-book what may eventually become "Premium class". So far, it's easier to get into F than Y+ and to be completely honest, I'm not complaining in this case....lol.
