It's not so much the increase that is bugging me, but rather that they are
going to the zoned system for all Priority Mail packages over 1 pound now
instead of 5 pounds.  Not only is this coing to make it substantially more
expensive to ship some packages, but it's going to creat a huge headache for
me figuring it all out.  It's pretty much going to kill my flat rate
shipping in my Bricklink Store.

It may well kill Priority Mail, period. Their attempt to maximise revenue
may move them to a far different place on the demand curve (as in, far less
demand!) meaning they get less revenue after all. I'm happy to overpay on
short distances and small packages in exchange for the convenience of not
having to deal with multiple zones. YMMV of course.
