But yeah, now that you mention it, this sounds like new, themed premium lands coming.
Nearly 5000 sims. But the main reason they won't rezone existing mainland is that people bought land based on the current no covenant zoning which does not distinguish residential from commercial. I don't see LL booting people off the land they bought or adding covenants to the existing land. If they do do that, it would be one of their most outrageous moves ever.

The only thing that makes sense for existing mainland is if every owner on a particular sim requests for that sim to be changed to be strictly residential or commercial.
