The number of BA's air-miles (avios) generated will be linked to the fare paid, but the way status-defining tier points are earned will remain unchanged.
Certainly bad news for most avios collectors. But if the OP's interest is in status (rather than air-miles for travel) BA remains as useful (or hopeless) as ever.
