If UEFA has 13 places in the 2022 World Cup, expect the Nations League to be followed by 10 groups (5 of 5, 5 of 6) as it is now, but with group winners only qualifying, then three sets of playoffs for Leagues A, B and C for the final three World Cup spots.

It means that teams in Leagues B and C are exceedingly unlikely to make the playoffs unless they actually win their groups.

I still think it is (just about) a positive, as we still have a chance of being second seeds for the group proper. We need to win our Nations League group for that to happen now though...
Would be surprised if UEFA only have 13 spots available that they'd give one to a League C team:

Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Georgia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Belarus, Cyprus, Estonia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Moldova

    That would be brilliant. There's also a direct overnight train from Vienna to Bucharest.

    There are plenty of options for decent trips there.

    Can the seedings change between now and the draw or are they exclusively from the nations league standings

    I’m waiting for someone to go to Budapest or Bucharest for Euro 2020 when they were supposed to go to the other city.

    Ah, sure these things are easy done:
    "Skënderbeu's heroic journey to the UEFA Champions League play-offs might have ended much earlier had they not been able to sort out a clerical error ahead of their second qualifying round meeting with Crusaders. The Albanian club mistakenly applied for Republic of Ireland visas for a game being played north of the border in Belfast. Happily, with a little help from their hosts, everything was sorted out, with the correct paperwork being picked up in Paris en route."
