Agreed.
I also read here that the T5 south lounge complex could be expanded in the future, but for now BA doesn't need that.
I like the idea of an F lounge in the satellites: they might build a new lounge in T5C and divide it in two sections for business and first (more likely OWE) passengers. The same with the lounge in T5B.
Many GCH fly long haul, if they knew well before which terminal their flight will depart from instead of a few time before they could go directly to the specified terminal. The lounges occupation would be then more balanced. In my visits to the T5B lounge I always found the place quite underused.
