If they are going to have signs for queuing then I would assert that when (as happened Sunday) a self-important, entitled bellend strolls past the long line of 1/2 passengers prior to boarding even being officially started, the GAs should not just happily process and board him. "Sir there's a queue" doesn't seem like we are asking them to be too draconian.
I guess it was only flying out of their single largest hub...

MCO-YYZ.
Zone 1.
A husband and wife come up ... she pleads to go on board first since he has a limp, takes a long time to get to the aircraft.
The GA gives in.
I head down after them, and I swear I was following Usain Bolt.
Some people.

If you have a leg issue boarding last would likely also fix this. Unless the door closes and the aircraft immediately starts moving, and that happens how often ...
Oh and I often have a limp, anytime I fly (Rouge) Y or without a preferred seat for example. That seems to come on during the flight though.

Perhaps to allow Comfort and preferred seats to board before families etc?

I feel Zone 6 will come eventually. Maybe AC marketing got prepared and then found AC IT can’t handle numbers above 5...
Updated wiki, added “in advance” after preferred seating for Z3 given purchasing after about t-24 or certainly at airport doesn’t get you Z3 - in fact it probably guarantees Z5.

MEX yesterday. Called Zone 1 and 2 together. For a Rouge 767. I am zone 1. Everyone in front of me is zone 4 and boards with no issue.
This is a joke now. There is no point in chasing status.

Had a entire family of Zone 4 board ahead of me when Zone 1 was called. GA had no issue with it.
