I fly international, and the only effect I can see is that I can't back as much flying together as I could in the past. Applying the 100/28 rule to all ops means that I have to keep my flying more spread out, and I simply can't fly as much as I used to in any given month.
I have to say that this can only serve to reduce long-term fatigue.
