Updated Raw Data File from Ancestry Worse?

Does anyone know what's the deal with the newer raw data file released? I heard that for genetic modelling, the raw data file offered by AncestryDNA is the gold standard due to its high coverage and SNP overlap, but now I'm hearing that they shrunk the raw file consideredably compared to previous years with much fewer SNPs compared to before. Does anyone have a breakdown on the SNP comparison between old and new as well as the SNP overlap for Eurogene/G25?

Post-March 2026 Raw Files?

Does anyone know how the newer raw files post-March of this year differs from older versions? Does it include more SNPs than before or the same, and can it be used to obtain G25 coordinates?

Will the new FTDNA family finder test NGS cover the same 700,000+ SNPs as before or will it be more than that?

The website claims: "The new panel will focus coverage on about 280 million base pairs of the human genome, which will include the approximately 700,000 SNPs previously reported from the GSA microarray chip." Does this mean that they will cover 700,000 or will it be more(undisclosed amount) but at least include 700,000?

What do you guys think of this new website?

Website: Ancestralgenome.com

Looks to be slightly better GUI-wise and more accurate than illustrative. They obtain their G25 from Davidski himself apparently and they include admixture breakdown for each component...
