Doesn't change that it's an absolutely tiny number. It's also safe to assume that there aren't multiples of that number floating around in space. They're classified as Zoners because of their lifestyle. As such, you can't go and make claims like "There are thousands living on Planet Manhattan too!" because those wouldn't be Zoners.
Can't people just accept that the Zoners were a really minor faction in Freelancer once upon a time, and that they were horribly bloated by Discovery? Any step towards a smaller, more sensible Zoner faction is a step in the right direction.
