They loaded a new I fare and A fare. All is not lost yet.
Now close this thread and never speak of it again.
EDIT: The major difference is you cannot get the half roundtrip price on a oneway. The oneway fares are much more expensive. I was pricing one out last night and it worked.

Looked up fares on expertflyer and indeed this fare has been removed and a new A fare which is about 50%+ more has been loaded. 
Shame! I am actually in CMB now so could have used it but doesn't really fit with my plans anyway. Still many bargains to be had from CMB though ^
Edit: Just looked and the RT fare of the new fare is actually pretty much the same as the old A fare. However a lot of the rules have changed.. e.g:
IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL BETWEEN SRI
LANKA AND EUROPE
THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST BE ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY BA FLIGHT
ANY UL FLIGHT
ANY TK FLIGHT.
If anyone doesn't have EF or access to the fare rules then send me a PM and I can send them over to you.

So no longer able to go on CX, MH, EK, etc.

That's been said over and over and over.. it's all in the Premium Fares threads - people insisting on mentioning the damn AA CMB fare. Oh, it deserves its own thread, they said. Oh, let's mention it again because the price went down a dollar. Oh, it's such a great deal that it should be mentioned again and again. Oh, let's post the best routings so some stupid lazy blogger can lift the details and pretend he's "in the know". Blah blah blah. Okay, rant over.
