By that logic, temperate oceanic and subpolar oceanic should just one zone.

Subpolar Oceanic summers are at, or below, the limit to sustain standard growth in trees and other vegetation.

A significant feature, that can be said to be "real world"

It's still moderated by the ocean and dominated by the polar front.

I wouldn't say my Oceanic climate is dominated by the polar front, it just doesn't have a clearly defined seasonal break, they way Med and subtropical climates do.

Then your climate does not belong in the same zone as Bergen.

Why not? -it's warmest month is the same as here, and it's average summer minimums are even warmer than here.

Both get cold fronts, even in the middle of summer.

Because Bergen has winters in the 'f' range. Winters are above freezing but still cold enough for snow, abeit snow that melts shortly after landing, on a fairly regular basis. Snow in Auckland, however, is almost unheard of.

I'm guessing there would be quite a few climates that experience short lived snow, and are in the same category as my climate.

Are they all going to be excluded?

Same category as Auckland using Koppen or using my system?

Your system, although I'm talking about my town, which is the same classification as Auckland and gets 40 frosts, compared to Auckland's 0 frosts - I don't know if that many frosts would be considered significant to you?
