In forthcoming spdep 1.3-1, spatial weight listw objects get a new zero.policy 
attribute. The attribute is added as objects are created to record the status 
of the zero.policy argument in the function creating the object, see: 
https://github.com/r-spatial/spdep/commit/e159de922c61713529a4075b0dfc2966eb8f9ad6.
 

Reverse dependency checks only show problems from over-eager unit testing in 
SpatialFeatureExperiment, a Bioconductor package, but other workflows may be 
impacted. The new attribute is used in tests for spatial autocorrelation to set 
the zero.policy argument in those tests (the arguments were zero.policy=NULL, 
are now zero.policy=attr(listw, "zero.policy") where listw is the spatial 
weights object argument to the test function.

This will be extended to spatialreg and friends if nobody reports negative 
impacts here soon. I'll wait before releasing 1.3-1 for a few days to see if 
any feedback is forthcoming.

Hope this long-overdue change is helpful,

Roger
