That is sort of happening now anyway when you factor in the 1K/GS preboards ahead of G1, many of whom are seated in first/business - but as a *A Gold member, I actually don't have a problem with making this change, but if this a major issue, we can rework it as:
1. Pre-board - wheelchairs and disabled, families with strollers/car seats - no stroller or car seat? Tough, you board with your group number
2. Global Services and 1K through the "Premier Access" line (Premier Access Priority 1 on their boarding pass)
3. First Class and/or Polaris, Platinum, Gold, Star Gold, through the Premier Access line (Premier Access Priority 2 on their boarding pass)
4. Premium Plus seated customers where applicable through the Premier Access line (Premier Access Priority 3 on their boarding pass)
5. Silver, Credit Cards with Priority Access, Paid UC members through the Premier Access line (Premier Access Priority 4 on their boarding pass)
6. General Boarding G1 - behind the wing - instructed to board along the general boarding line
7. General Boarding G2 - in front of the wing - instructed to board along the general boarding line
8. General Boarding G3 - Basic Economy - instructed to board along the general boarding line
