We definitely can test this, and I guarantee it's probably going to happen before I get home from work today.

But I have doubts.

It would be such a drastic change.

I already don't know if I'm going to hit SE requal because I just don't find the benefits that great, so I'm not opposed to starting to burn through my banked years. But it also means that my 2pax PY fare to Europe next month might get cancelled.

An ideal (and common) customer for AC is someone who flies paid J for work all the time. And they want to use their eUps on some cheapo fare for their one or two vacations. If eUps are no longer useful there, because a credit card 25K booking an Aeroplan Latitude ticket would be ahead of them, then why even bother sticking with AC for all the paid J work travel?
