558 >   be hidden even on remote servers
559 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
560 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
561 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
562 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
563 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL

566 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
