What the boarding group is called is irrelevant - you could name the boarding groups after animals (i.e. 1 = Hippopotamus) and get the same results.
If you really want the most efficient boarding process possible, you'd eliminate elite boarding, by-pass lanes, carpets, etc. and have a free-for-all.
