I am in the camp that BA’s focus should be to do something to make the Club World lounge experience at LHR better, the gap with the TATL competition is surely getting a bit large for comfort.
You're right to be cynical, but my thinking is that rules can't be enforced today as there's no where else to go. BA could nudge people to adopt the right behaviours (for example, when entering The Library you tick a bunch of boxes on a screen saying you understand the rules) and you have staff that can, ahem, "help" people go to the appropriate zone.

I have no doubt that none of this will be done, but thought I'd share my slightly unconventional way of sorting this out.
