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.
