But I wanted to display the zone layout in a concise way allowing user-space programs to determine the zone layout without having to issue a 'REPORT ZONES' command themselves. I found it slightly pointless to add one sysfs entry per zone, and at the same time a simple 'zone_size' attribute wouldn't cover all possibilities.
However, as SMR drives seem to stabilise around having a fixed zone size (with a possible exemption of the last zone to cover left-overs) I'd be fine a replace this with a single 'zone_size' attribute which could be set to eg '-1' for drives which indeed would implement variable zone sizes.
