Just to clarify, the LNDs were removed long ago. All that this ticket is about is removing the name<->network number mapping for these obsolete LNDs, and (preferably, as stated above) adding clear comments for the removed LND network numbers.

Hi Sonia,

Would you be able to assess these LND's for possible removal?

Thanks.
Joe

FWIW, speaking for Cray, the PTLLND line can be completely commented out. We are confident about never running 2.9 or 2.10 on anything that has a connection with a PTLLND system.
