I agree. It's easier to keep a single file in sync than two or more files. Maybe we could try it and see if any software has some problem with this flag. From FTS-5001.005:

  For compatibility with certain broken segment processors, nodelist
  maintainers should limit all lines to at most 157 characters (plus
  terminator).  It is very likely this limitation will be removed in
  the future, therefore future software implementations should be able
  to process lines of up to 1024 characters, and individual fields of
  up to 255 characters (unless otherwise specified).

    Rev.5, 2014-01-23  "must" replaced by "should" on 157 char limit.


Is anyone in this net is using a "certain broken segment processor"? ;)
