Shorthaul flights will earn points:

Economy earns 5, Business earns 10 points per segment.

Longhaul flights earn:

15 in Y, 20 in PE, 50 in C, 70 in F
I think this must be a April's Day Fool. It is highly unlikely that Lufthansa will eliminate the revenue part for status accrual. This new policy opens the door to all sorts of mileage runs.

One example:
DXB-BOS roundtrip in Business Class on the cheapest booking class on LH yields 200 points (4 longhaul segments). One needs just 2 roundtrips + find another 80 points (e.g. a DXB-FRA roundtrip in C) to achieve Senator status.
I cannot believe it.
