We have to accept that early bookings and fare class will almost always not matter for revenue fare bookings eligible under this system.
I think having EXP and higher will still be mostly useful as I think many flights still get a few Plat Pros upgrade. For Plat and Gold, this maybe very disruptive. I am not sure how many EXPs fly on domestic awards because that would be disruptive to their elite accruals and booking for others alone won't count unlike United's (old) system.

How is the new system any more unfavorable for Plats and Golds?
