I've posted the same thing - I thought you could get rid of the zone
politics by making everything one zone, but then people complained about
whether it'd be called Zone 1 or Zone 2.   :)

We're starting to see regional attrition, Z1C has consolidated zones
recently when a RC retired. That might help with some of the
complication.

Separate IP-only legacy networks are the biggest complication, I'd think
- why have a region with a handful of legacy nets with 1-2 nodes and no
NC? When I first took over R10 I was NC for 5-6 legacy nets that had no
separate NC. I took those and moved those into an IP-only net where I
could (except for one net that's well advertised and nets where people
wanted to be NC to manage their own net)

That low-level consolidation cleared up a lot of the complication. If
everyone did that, from the bottom-up, I think we'd get rid of a lot of
that overhead.
