I think leaving the zones in place, but cleaning up the nodelist would
go a long way. I've spent the last couple of years collapsing legacy
nets where it makes sense (when there's no need for a geographical net,
since all of the nodes are IP only)

We could have one region with one IP net and a couple of smaller nets
(only when needed). That would streamline routing.

Mystic is ahead of Synchronet in having had a mailer built-in for
longer, but now that with either you could configure an integrated
mailer and filefix together, it wouldn't be too hard to come up with a
HOWTO for FTN.
