Going back to the renumbering issue I would suggest that anyone with a November and beyond reservation on an Airbus aircraft to check their seats because they've changed. If you think you are in one of the exit rows, that may no longer be the case. I had to go back on multiple reservations to change my seat back to the exit row (former row 10 is now 17). I guess it helped me with one reservation where I couldn't get the aisle in (former) row 10 when I booked and now I do, but I suspect the individual who had that seat is not going to be to happy when they find out.
