Hi Aleksey,
This seems rather arbitrary and subjective to me. The tier 1-3 groupings were
driven by existing tier 1-3 notions. But here the definition of tier 4 as "all
the rest except ..." is not really a well-defined meaning for tier 4. I don't
see that it adds any value. Perhaps there is a need for a group that is
"everything except tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, applications, ..." but I wouldn't
call that tier 4.
Cheers,
David
