There was talk quite recently about this, and somebody... <ahem> seemed to 
imply that it wasn't possible, or that it "hadn't been long enough" that 
the existing ZC was AWOL...

If there are only 2 RCs left, doesn't 1 of them make a majority/quorum?

Okay, let's do that.  Wave the magic wand, dissolve Z4, and put the 
survivors in Z3, with Fernando as the RC.  Done.
