But then all your arguments evaporate.

If you argue that memory balancing should work even in the instance where
the classzone has degenerated into a single zone, then I'll just say "why
have the classzone concept at all, then?".

Which is exactly what I'm saying.

I think we should have zones. Not classzones. And we should have
"zonelists", but those would not be first-class data structures, they'd
just be lists of zones that are acceptable for an allocation.
