That said, KE has shown they will give no notice before they announce changes (See what they did with their own program) - but still, most of those plans didn't start going into effect for some time.

So I'd plan to use miles sooner-rather-than-later, but I wouldn't book something now just to burn them.
KE giving no notice is not true; the recent Skypass changes basically decimate the value of the program but they were announced more than 1 year in advance before the first change comes into effect.
