While some may debate the likeliness of someone of that status flying in the lowest cabin class until cows come home, it doesn't remove the possibility of that potential friction point. I think BA should board highest cabin and highest status together and then progress down cabins+tiers accordingly.
I would have thought the opposite - the DYKWIA thread is full of Bronze or Silver card holders pushing their way to the front of fast track - this change means they won't be able to if not in a premium cabin.
