 More and more software becomes abandonware and aging Sysops keep on using it.

 Dn't worry, they probably do.

 No, it is just a start of an inventory, of were changes are needed and
 where there a limitations, as the software cannot be modified.
 This is not aimed at Makenl, but at the use of longer lines in the nodelist.
 It is wonderfull if all levels can produce a nodelist with long lines, but
 if it fails on crucial systems on the net, where is the gain?
