Hello Björn,

No, not that, but this:

You have been doing it for a decade or more. And now all of a sudden it is a
problem?

Of course. I have always taken the POV that the nodelist should be up to date
and accurate.

Of course it is valuable. But not advertising al one's capability is not a
mortal sin. A node that actually supports CM but does not advertise it in the
nodelist, has a technically correct listing.

The other way around, advertising connectivity that is not there, is far worse.

Regarding the accuracy and up-to-date-ness of the nodelist: Now that your
bailiffwick has expanded to cover net 222, you have nice challenge ahead of
you. Net 222 has not been changed in 640 weeks. Well over a decade! Some really
wonder if that part of the nodelist is still up to date...


Cheers, Michiel
