I'd suggest that names not be stored for exponents that have been
unreserved, or where the name was last assigned that exponent
All,
What this list needs right now is a nice juicy math debate, so here goes:
I was reading the faq about P-1 factoring, and it talks about constructing a
'q' that is the product of all primes less than B1 (with some multiples?)
And then I read the "skip 2, test 2" comment about trial factoring

I want to do P-1 testing specifically, so I've been unreserving DC exponants
after completing this stage, but before starting the test. A feature of the
Primenet server is that it hands out the lowest available exponant of the
type requested, which is liable to be the one just unreserved. The
