Does this mean that Basic will go the way of the LH group and we lose priority seat assignment and free baggage allowance?

Is this tied to Amadeus?
Ok, I saw this last night while booking flights... I thought the wording has been the same all along but I think you raise a good point... But why SE? This would apply to all tiers anyway for the previous and current wording.
