United reduces bags... others to follow?

So, United just announced that they were reducing your checked luggage amount from 2 bags to 1 for the basic cheap seat tickets. I wonder if the other North American airlines are going to do the same soon?

Flying gets less and less pleasant... more security, so it is harder to carry one as much, so we needed to check more stuff... and, now (well, soon), we can't check as much stuff, either.

(At least I'm 1337 enough that United will still let me bring stuff.)
