When I was at LHR last week they had separate lanes for GS, 1K, and then the BGs; this should be easy enough to implement in other airports.
Pre-Boarding of GS and 1K are not consecutive. Families with children under 2 board after GS and ahead of 1K, so they will not be lumped together if the rules are followed.
