It is a backwards compatibility thing.

I had a zone "sion2." in the database and 2 zones "sion2." and "sion2" in the 
zonelist... The import script refuses to import the second instance as they 
now look like the same zone; however, depending on which came first in the 
zonelist I may have already changed the policy that "sion2." was on.

So I decided to be strict with what is in zonelist to be on the safe side. I 
agree that it is not perfect.
