That is correct.

No. It affects Z* extension ordering...

Wait... so, you make constraints for existing single-letters (Zi -> Zv)
but not for non-existing single-letters? (Zk -> Zj, Zj -> Zk) anymore?

That's completely unexpected move but also makes sense.

Let me check your intentions and details: do we need to place Z[CH]*
extensions without single-letter extension [CH] after all existing ones
(like Zv*)? Or, Z[CH]* extensions without single-letter extension [CH]
have no constraints as long as all Z* extensions are grouped together?
