That's why I suggested that we should use the existing merge_lists=true rather than adding another option. > But if y'all want one to outlaw -machine id=..., I can add it. Given that the latter half of this patchset seems to be dealing with the fallout of letting the user specify -machine id= it seems simpler just to say "don't do that". -- PMM
