+1 (with a caveat), good idea since isolation method is supported on a per-zone basis. The caveat is that sometimes it makes sense to support multiple isolation methods in a zone. For example, VPC(advanced) + basic in the same zone. Why would one do this? Simply because someone might start with one isolation method (basic) and then offer advanced (using overlays like VxLAN f.e). Since templates/snapshots/volumes tend to be zone-specific, this makes the transition easier. This is not unlike AWS "EC2-classic" and "VPC" in the same zone.
