Just booked two set of tickets online (separately) for myself and a non-status companion. Online checkin/seat selector wouldn't allow the non-status companion further forwards than 15C. I was immediately allocated 2DEF, with multiple rows in the front either having one or two empty seats or being entirely empty.
Looks like they've finally restricted non-status pax from taking the premium seats. Flight is for the 28th.
