Sure not more than 7 entries makes sense. 

But is the use of the "symmetry" entries in the menu in practise?
In gimp they do fine without.

For all I do with dia 800% is absolutely necessary so I have to patch
every new release for the moment. It is because I need the snap to grid
function a lot. Since objects are place with the mouse in one hand
the first gesture is always to choose the right zoom before.

So my suggestion:
Since most people are working on letter or DinA4 sheets we 
add  800%
     566%

Since almost nobody works with sheets bigger than DinA0 we could wipe out
25% and 35,4% entries.

So we keep "symmetry", we don't increase the number of entries and everyone is
satisfied. No?

You will find a patch in bugzilla Attachment #78027.
This is a copy.
