As I have said previously, I am being pushed by new LISTSERV owners who want their server to be registered in PEERS NAMES so as to participate in the DISTRIBUTE backbone, peer-linking, etc. This is not possible with release 1.5h because of the CMS limit of 65 arguments on 'old' plist format. The restriction has been removed in 1.5i -- I know, I'm repeating myself and you probably know about it. I have decided that I have waited long enough (nearly 1 month unless I have missed something) and that I will have to satisfy the new owners' legitimate claim, even if it means causing a crash in a few servers here and there because they have not yet upgraded to 1.5i. I will therefore issue a PUT PEERS NAMES command on monday, with all the new entries added to it, and all the 1.5h servers automatically removed from the (new) DISTRIBUTE backbone. Since they will probably end up crashing some hours after receiving the new PEERS NAMES, we don't want them in the DISTRIBUTE backbone any more until the problem has been solved. I am sorry to be forced to cause such an inconvenience to the 1.5h owners but I have somehow the impression that those which have not yet upgraded to 1.5i will "never" do it (where "never" means "not until about 6 months" -- we still have one 1.4 server and a few 1.5b ones, among others).
