lumping all zoners under one label is necessary - even if illogical - as long as the rules make zoners "one" faction.
with the recent admin decisions - zoners ARE one. and not considering them as "one" contradicts the rules - even if a heterogenous faction has benefits over a homogenous faction.
from that pov, it does not matter how much we agree or disagree with that - what matters is ... those that interpreted the rules made it so that "zoners are one" - there is hardly any room for further interpretation, cause diversity can only be taken so far in terms of the recent decisions.

It actually have very little effect on how other factions treat Zoners and has a ton of effect on how we interact. We can't bounty each other and we can't have a internal shooting war unless all involved agree to it, which we all know isn't likely to happen.
Zoners INTERNALLY can't shoot at each other (under the current ruling). But during the most recent unpleasantness - where we had ANOTHER declared shooting war, it was only against a GROUP of Zoners, not all of them. (The ORI, in case you missed that.)
There actually is, if it happens in Role Play, no reason right now why we could not end up at war with the Omicroners and still not be at war with the [TAZ]. The only thing that would happen is that we would have to be red with all Zoners - but as we all know, red does not always mean dead.

The 'leaders' of the Freeports agreed to our terms - which was that the Order can't stage out of the Freeports any more than we can. They can dock there for short term reloading, and so can we. That's all we wanted, and we got that.
