"7.4. Lifetime Status is subject to the Terms and Conditions and is dependent on continued membership. British Airways reserves the right to amend the criteria for gaining Lifetime Status or to withdraw the ability of Members to earn Lifetime Status and will give at least 6 months’ notice of the change or withdrawal of this benefit."
A very narrow interpretation would be that the 6 months’ notice refers to changes or withdrawal of the benefit itself, and not the manner in which it is gained.
