I would like to argue to leave things as they are. Currently, the user can
specify:
--use-server - the client uses avahi to find a suitable server on the local
network.
--use-server=HOSTNAME - the client uses avahi to find a suitable server on the
named host only
--use-server=HOSTNAME:PORT - the client contacts the specified server. Avahi is
not required.
An IP address may be specified for HOSTNAME.
The above applies to --use-server in conjunction with --list-servers and to
--use-server when compiling a script (or both simultaneously).
--use-server=HOSTNAME is also useful in conjunction with --trust-servers for
adding|removing trust in servers on a particular host.
When avahi is not present both --use-server and use-server=HOSTNAME will fail
to find servers on the network, but could still find server certificates in NSS
databases related to that host (useful when removing trust).
I see no reason to disable this useful functionality.
