Perhaps, yes. The reason I did commas rather than colons was so that
supporting IPv6 would be easy while still using shell wildcards. Since
NBD has acquired IPv6 support since 2.9.15, that wasn't unimportant.

Having said that, I don't think it would hurt to support the ltsp_nbd
syntax as an alternative, provided it does not break anything in my
current scripts. I would need a pointer to how that works then, however.
