Same.
If these changes are to be believed, it looks like a typical case of accountants running numbers resulting in cost reduction on paper, but little thought has gone into the delivery. Result; inefficiency combined with admin disaster.

From a personal perspective it looks like RA devaluation and somewhat improved for regular Ambassadors. Until yesterday I was expecting my IC footprint to fall of a cliff in 2019, but then I got offered to take on a role which entails frequent travel to an IC I've spent hundreds of nights in the last half decade or so Guess I'll have to reap the new benefits for regular Ambassadors, and hope the hotels will look after me as a regular.

Or just drop Amb all together for once!
