In recent years the ACO have had too many meanigless races, devaluing the Le Mans brand.
If the ACO can put together half a dozen races with Le Mans like support and media attention, that can only be a good thing.
As for those races left out in the cold, they have to adapt or close up shop.
With only five to six LMS races, upto half could form part of the LMIC, so on balance the series will be strengthened significantly.
The question is whether the ALMS should follow suit, or can they sustain seven or so races without LMIC status.
