The cleared list showed the person in 1D's name and seat number but no boarding zone (I had the 'UP' next to my name/seat number). That's why I wondered if the cleared list looked this way for a non-rev in first, but I'm doubtful there's any relationship.
UP is the normal boarding zone I have seen for people who clear the list. Did your name not show UP?
