For all practical purposes, that's what happens today.
I was in line to board as a Gold - Group 2 - and was behind two Explorers. One told they other to just ignore that group number, nobody will care. When the GA let them on (ahead of me, a 'proper' Group 2), he said to her 'See, I told you. Just ignore it.'
With behavior like that, I'd prefer a scrum to any boarding 'process'. The simple fact is that if the GA's tolerate that kind of behavior, it doesn't matter how many groups you have.
