Recently British Airways announced a devaluation. At first I was seriously worried, just like hearing about any devaluation. But once seeing the new award chart I realized that the changes didn't affect people who like stopovers at all.

British Airways Avois (ever since the change in 2011) has been an incredible niche. In some areas redemptions were really poor, but in many areas redemptions have been terrible. That fact, and the good things, haven't really changed a lot, except in oneways. And the fact of the matter is, you can beat the prices with shorter flights with stopovers.
