Tracking useless information wastes > everyone's time. If somebody doesn't want to be in the pool, or ifi they want to be listed in the Servers web then that's perfectly OK. If somebody else doesn't want to look at the Servers web that's OK too.

The pool has that mechanism, and it may be that it should become the recommended approach and we could then deprecate the Servers web, but we'd either need to force that change or get consensus that it wsa the way to go.
