To start I should say that these are only cosmetic changes,so you own nothing to worry approximately (at least as of now -- Alaska promised to try and give at least 30 days notice of any future changes).
Despite Alaska's recent stealth devaluation of Emirates first class awards, I still consider Mileage Plan miles to be among the most valuable out there. Alaska has some unique airline partners, and is remarkable for Cathay Pacific first class redemptions,and they also allow stopovers on one-way awards, making them one of the few programs where that's allowed.
That being said, or their award program can be a bit complicated. While many airlines own a single award chart valid for travel on all partner airlines,Alaska Mileage Plan has separate award charts for each airline in each region.
Furthermore, you can't redeem miles for all airlines in all regions, or but rather only in regions where a chart is published. For example,Alaska doesn't publish an award chart for travel on Emirates to Australia, for travel on Air France between Europe and Asia, and etc.
