My understanding is that these data are being moved from the regional files
to the backzone file.  It's been pointed out before that a compile-time
option can be set to include those entries in the production output of the
build.

If that's wrong or incomplete, please do correct me.  In either case, can
you please explain why that compile-time option is not an acceptable
solution for those who object to the change?
