So: no change as regards status miles.

Additionally - it only applies to new bookings. NOT to existing tickets.

"When does the revenue-based system come into effect?
The new system will apply to tickets issued from 12.3.2018 and to flights operated from 12.3.2018. Both conditions must be met."
I used it as an example to check how different (award) miles earning would be under the new system.

Also I wanted to point out it's not clear on M&M's website how a non-LH Group flight will be treated in a mixed itinerary.

Edited to add:
I used the animated tool on M&M's website and found that for FTL/SEN/HON the factor of 5 is used for all airlines on which you can earn M&M miles but which are not individually mentioned along with Brussels Airlines and Eurowings.
