Just my opinion but I think the "classic" vision of ZEMs allows for their reassignment. They were always a lever to get people off the well beaten leveling paths. It would seem perfectly classic to me if P99 devs reassigned ZEMs to less popular zones among the current playerbase.
I also think it doesn't make sense for them to be a hidden mechanic. You want people to know where the high ZEMs are so they go to those places, assuming you've correctly assigned them to less popular zones. Not publishing the values works against this idea.
