In the end - if they do go down this revenue route, all i see is a huge mess. As alluded to in this thread - revenue is a mystic black art that is about as transparent as my 77 year old Aunty May's tights.
A hypothetical Yahoo messenger chat between two SQTalkers - highlighting how befuddled one might be describing the PPS requalification process........
Old conversation:
SQTalker H: How far are you from requalifying?
SQTalker S: I've got 12.5 in the bank. Another 12.5 to go
SQTalker H: Cool!
New conversation:
SQTalker H: How far are you from requalifying?
SQTalker S: Last time I checked when Singaporeair.com was up was that I was short $7950.45. At todays exchange rate I don't know what it is though. I hear the SGD has appreciated vs most currencies.
SQTalker H: But the site is down a lot these days- must be overloaded with calculations. When did you last check? I haven't seen my Krisflyer account for over 8 months now!
SQTalker S: About 84 days ago. I managed to sneak a peek in, but when i clicked "my bookings" the site timed out. I also don't know what sort of ticket will be close to that price to buy to get me over the mark. I don't want to overspend.
SQTalker H: Oh, in that case, since it's been that long, you don't really have a clue how near or far you are then do you?
SQTalker S: I don't SQ has a clue either
SQTalker H: Sod that. We're off to CX!
New conversation 2:
SQTalker H: How far are you from requalifying?
SQTalker S: I'm about 67.235% of the way to PPS. But accounting for the exchange rate, I'm fairly certain, with a 95% confidence interval, that I should reach PPS again when i'm 34.552% of the way into my flight to NRT.
SQTalker H: Say what?
New conversation 3:
SQTalker H: How far are you from requalifying?
SQTalker S: Taking into account GDP growth and balance of payment forecasts for singapore, I've hedged my requalification to 65 dollars a barrel. I've also bought SQ Fare futures - so if the market goes my way, I'll requalify by 11.33am on June the 5th. That's the upside. On the downside, I'm predicting no worse than tea time on October the 12th.
SQTalker H: Cool!

SQTalker H: How far are you from requalifying?
SQTalker S: Well, if I route all power from the deflectors to the engines, and invert the phases on the warp coils............

Or someone may have requalified already (shows 0), then disqualified. 
) Thus you can plan accordingly until the new enhanced program taking in effect.
I think I have to sit down when I receive the letter. There are some surprises.
