Not a direct response to this, but years ago I hit the limit of hostlists
(and other types), which is, what, 16, or 32 or something? in a
configuration I was building. I used macros to work around it, but the
only solution was to tweak some build parameter and rebuild, which I was
loath to do as I was trying to keep using the FreeBSD ports and it wasn't
an exposed tunable at that time (I think I did some work on making it so
but can't remember if I ever sorted it).
Anyway, in those days I think lots of hostlists was thought to be a very
niche requirement, but I suspect it is more common to use more of them
now, so maybe it is a good time to re-think what the limit is. There was
an explanation on the list from Phil about the implications of increasing
the number, but with today's hardware, they probably aren't very
significant. I can probably dig out the references if anyone is
interested.
