And its not just packages, the information is frequently not visible because there is a resolver in the way.

You want user-visible information to be based on zone boundaries, 
although zone boundaries are not defined as a user-visible construct.

The real-world functional problems with this have already been 
explained, by others.

What I am trying to make clear is that the fact that some packages might 
give access to this information, it is nonetheless inappropriate for a 
user-visible function to be based on access to zone boundary information.
