This is especially relevant now that DL offers D1 service from DCA.
They should block off a few tables at DCA for D1 customers, like Amex does at Centurion lounges for black card holders.
As much as it sucks, getting rid of all-airline access for membership holders will be essential once National Hall is moved airside.
I don't think the 16 D1 passengers per day are make-or-break when it comes to crowding at DCA.
