I had a very nice chat with the SFO lounge manager last month and he told me that they were going to be starting A380 to SFO next year and that yes, as it was too large to use the existing lounge gates, it would use the gates at the opposite side of the terminal wing and there would be no more boarding from the lounge as a result.
