There is evidently a disconnect between concept of medallions boarding at their leisure and sometimes waiting to board with zone 3 if that is on the BP.
Zones 2 and 3 are normally for Medallions only anyway:
Zone 2 Medallions in front of the plane (or is it the back?)
Zone 3 Medallions in the other half of the plane.
That's why in the other thread you may have read that it is appropriate to use BW only after your assigned zone has been boarded. Otherwise you are cutting in front of fellow Medallions and/or FC pax.
If DL wants ALL FC and Medallions to use BW, then they need to make that clear and also do away with Zone 2 and 3 as presently constituted. BW should not be used to permit Medallions to cut ahead of FC and other Medallions, but only to allow them preferential boarding ahead of the masses if they arrive late at the gate.
Better GA training is needed so that all of them will do things the same way. Otherwise it is just confusing.
