Yeah, but if you scroll back you'll see we came up with two alternatives:

The most generous: add 100XP to each silver account, 180XP to each gold account, and 300XP to each Platinum account.

The most equitable: at the date of the level check, if anyone has an XP balance less than they had at the previous level check, elevate them to the same number of XPs they had 12 months ago. That means everyone maintains status, and starts the new year in the exact same position as they started this current (cursed) year, as a minimum. If anyone managed to fly more in this current (cursed) year, they get to keep their additional flying, but those that didn't start off exactly as they did a year previously.

Both mean that those platinums nursing large rollover balances will not lose any rollover XPs.
