With all the messing going on with status and renewal dates you can't help get the feeling a purge is underway to make room for the BA flyers in the lounge
BA/IB will likely stay on 300 gates unless there is space on the 400's (i.e. after 4pm)

Yep, tend to agree, particularly for BA flights to LHR. This will push more EI metal to the dreaded South Gates which are easily the worst gates in the airport. I see more downside for EI pax than upside for BA ones with this move. The BA experience in T1 was perfectly fine.
