I don't see any conflict and neither do the 99% of people who travel and have no issue with lounge access - because they're not trying to exploit FFPs because they don't try and mix and match FFPs to suit their own requirements.
To everybody who says the *A rules don't say your can't mix FFPs - they don't say you can either.
Like every month when this very same topic comes up there isn't really much else to add. I'm well aware of why these changes have been made and don't share the same views as others who believe what they're doing is kosher.
