There's no mention of lifetime status in the updated qualification requirements, so it looks like it's going away. The Q&A section does mention that existing Morning Calm Premium and Million Milers can keep their lifetime status. (Morning Calm Premium = lifetime Gold, Million Miler = lifetime Platinum)

Not sure how far along you were, but flying only 20K miles per year would have taken 25 years to qualify for MCP on the old system. Not sure that's something you can count on in any frequent flyer program. Skypass will almost certainly see many more changes over the next 25 years, if it even still exists at all.

Definitely sucks for anyone who is getting close to 500K though.
