That is plausable, too. Likely the intended outcome. Personally I don't care, just as I don’t care about upgrades, and pre-departure beverages. Titanium for 2027 will be easy. When AS decides "later in 2026" to tell us what earnings will be "later later in 2026" I will reassess to see if what is important to me remains viable.
