In fact, there had been a different unrelated cancelation earlier, and now the ticket doesn't have a single leg that was in the original routing. Even better, 6 legs are now 4, I now have 006 ticket, and a different departure date, due to a huge change in arrival time at destination other skyteam flights. Looks like Delta is being very accommodating. Doesn't hurt that the flights are only at about 25% of capacity.
I would be careful buying anything on 055 ticket stock right now. I'm glad you now have a 006 ticket.
