Loungs access?

Dynamic pricing (more seats, higher redemption costs, much higher in some cases), tier threshold requirements reviewed (changes still a maybe), and lounge access potentially reviewed. Former is a backdoor likely old fashioned devaluation the latter perhaps welcomed if it prevents locust-like lounge F&B binging by £39 one way fare punters who arrive 4 hours before. Don’t blame them but the economics are a bit twisted when you think neither AA or QF would permit this. (And neither did BA in the 1990s).
What lounge access changes do you have in mind(or think BA management have in mind)? It seems to me that it is pretty OK as is - silvers and golds can use shared lounges at outstations and golds have dedicated lounges at LHR/LGW/JFK, and CCR have the lounges at LHR/JFK. I don't quite see how they could adjust this without a radical devaluation of tier benefits.
