Imagine this... you're shooting at 2.8 and now because you zoomed I'm shooting at F5, and I have to bump the power on my lights and re-meter everything. Come on. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Anyone who says "Who sets exposure first (to the widest possible aperture no doubt) THEN changes the zoom length?" isn't a fucking photographer.
Oh please. Read the original post again.

You absolutely cannot fuck around with variable aperture zoom lenses if you even give a fraction of a damn.
