I don't see that it will make a lot of difference to speculative bookings - people need to have miles to make bookings and they need to cancel 60+ days in order for it to be a free cancellation
Well, that's true about needing the miles. They will run out at some point for most people. So it's not completely unlimited open season on speculative bookings.
But part of the new change seems to be major changes are no longer free of charge. So a date change now, with no change to origin or destination, would now incur a change fee unless made 60 days out.
