huh.

My first inclination is to leave them alone - they cause no harm apart
from a tiny increase in compilation time and they might be used in the
future.

But their names are all quite poor - should be zone_is_normal(), etc.

So yes, let's zap them and hope that if they get resurrected, it will
be with better naming.
