This is nothing at all like scheduling a QSuite 77W for DOH-CMB and then swapping it out at the last minute.
Your words sound like authoritative wisdom, but many posters here might disagree.
There have been many, many routes where Qsuites have been introduced (I don't like the term"officially launched") and where there is "official" (i.e. scheduled) change of ac. I am not talking about last minute ac substitution, but about sudden aircraft change in the schedule.
Having flown over 50 J flights with QR, I got about the same number of scheduled equipment changes. One of my DOH-CDG flight got three ac changes within 4 months.
Maybe the US flights have a greater degree of "stability"
