I don't think so. Sounds like the process will now match what is done in football, basketball, etc. You have option to stay where you are, but you can also choose to see what other seats are available. If you want the option to move you are given a time when you can login on the website and look at open seats. Times are set based upon Priority Points ( the more points you have the earlier your appt is, theoretically the better your seat choices will be). If you don't choose new seats you keep what you have.
That's the way football and basketball work. Sorry if that is too much info.
