This is not a gift from Delta. This seems to be EF finding a way around Delta.

Can EF currently show DL award inventory?

Even if it could, I'd expect this wouldn't be useful at all since Delta now uses a single fare class for all award tickets regardless of award level (N for coach, R for first, O for business).

It would help those with FF miles from some other partner FF program if they could see whether what is considered "low" award inventory is available or not.

The low level DL award inventory has been available since July of last year:

I wonder if EF would consider offering an incentive for people who defected to KVS over this, to come back, particularly for those whose KVS terms are still locked in for a number of months yet.

I was always a $100 a year guy, but, my KVS subscription doesn't expire til February.

Useless

still largely useless for those that relied on EF for upgrades. I mean, with technology the way it is, I can tweet @delta Assist and find out within a few minutes if there is the fare bucket required that is needed for a SDC.

That's what I had used it for, as well as SDC.

Good news, but not sure without UG inventory it is worth me to go back and subscribe. Rarely can do SDC anymore. Does seat alerts work? Sounds like fare rules do, so you can still see MPM rules?

I just got an email from EF summarizing the recent return of certain DL data and offering an individualized 10% off code.

I had previously done a trial a while ago but didn't convert; kinda tempted now.
