More like biannually :-)

It's just pointless here, on such a static network. If I'm going to
login to the router to add a MAC, then editing and distributing my
master list is trivial. Last change: 2021-02-04, when I got hold of
a redundant computer.

I looked at the Debian wiki: ouch. It seems to have been spammed
a while back, and hasn't been touched in 4½ years. Although the
Arch wiki is far better, I'm not able to judge how much one might
be led astray by the differences between Arch and Debian.

I can't speak to Gene's wanting a static network configured by his
method, but I'm happy to defend my choice.

Cheers,
David.
