I'm not sure which cases need to be considered because each airline seems to handle BE in a slightly different way, but the bags filter is still there at least for now. So if all one cares about is being able to take a carry-on bag, that option still exists. For those airlines on which "includes carry-on bag" is insufficient to filter out basic economy, then for those who care about elite benefits and/or earnings at regular vs. reduced rate etc. then there is now that ability where there wasn't before.
