Does today's announcement lessen the chance of EYW2017?

The chance, I don't know, the value, definitely...

Agreed - maybe.

I have used 1.17 million miles in the past 12 months on flights I considered to be good value.

If they did v6 as a copy of v5, I'd do it again, even knowing the miles would be worth less (not worthless) in 2020. Would I do EYW in 2018? Maybe. 2019? Probably not. 2020? Definitely

Wasn't it announced around May 16 last year, IIRC? That means we will likely know in the next few days...

It hasn't been the same time every year.

v3 was in the fall (I remember flying on Remembrance Day).

Well I dunno about 2017, but one assumes EYW 2020 won't be prior to June. Though if it was, could be easy to get top 10

I think my wife would kill me if I participated this time around. I still have a ton of miles to burn.

I'd only join if the top 10 earned 50 million miles
