As a service to those who don't read the Business Traveller forum, here's a posting from this afternoon:
Make of that what you will.

There is also a new Gold Guest List Card which is the same as the Gold Card but with GL in small letters in the top right hand corner.

However I also think that and airline that invests in attention to detail and getting everything right is likely to offer a much better experience than one that is inclined to cut a few corners.
It is the same with the boarding cards. Every time BA issues one of those flimsy black and white boarding cards a little bit of the brand dies. They should be printed with dark ink on colour card and differentiated by class - Blue for WT and WTP, Navy for CW and Silver for F.
So all things considered I have to disagree I am afraid.
As Sir Humphrey might say, it is "the thin end of the wedge".
