That is, if you are already lifetime MR Gold, AND already lifetime SPG Plat, you'll still only be New lifetime Plat, but no higher. 1 + 1 = 1.
I don't think it's an open question... going forward there is no LT status above LT Plat, except for LT Plat Premier for those who are grandfathered into it. It's a bit weird that they're offering LTPP only as a grandfathered status, since you'd think as long as they're going to have to track it they may as well offer it as an incentive to stay post-LTP, however meager the additional benefits may be...
