Is 'lifetime' status still so?

[Emkay]

A 2016 post indicated that all was well, but have subsequent 'improvements' to Qantas' FF scheme introduced any new qualifications to retaining lifetime status?

Since recently retiring from the workforce after 50 years, the final decade being at WP, I have been quite content to drop back to LTG status and quietly consume my substantial points bank with award travel on QF and partners. I realize I will need to resume paying in full for flights once my points have been used, but I prefer to use them up first before they are further devalued by successive scheme changes. I just want to be sure that I can safely ignore my lack of progress this year towards the usually-required four eligible flights/sectors? No changes buried deep in the T&Cs, redefining 'lifetime', or is posession of a heartbeat still sufficient?

So far so good.

Hv scarcely used my LTG card in 12-13 years since earning it and moving to VA, but it still works (as recently as last week). Never had a warning about keeping up activity, and indeed hv been mildly impressed at service/availability of points flts/upgrades the few times I hv gone with QF (or BA in Europe). So while there's never been an issue, I imagine that one day, sometime, LTG will cease to mean what we understand it to mean..
