Yup. There was. ;-)
Pretty neat, but as you say I wonder how many names
are just reserved for
future expansion, and how many really exist?
Some are future expansion, but I think an even larger number is just
machines that is sitting somewhere, or disk images of systems, which
*might* get activated at some point.
Almost every nodename does also have associated architecture, CPU and OS
written down, which is more than just a placeholder, I'd say.
And I wonder how many are real, physical, machines
and how many are
simulations?
That is a good question. I have sortof some slight notion of this, but
not perfect.

Which of course do not count other simulations, nor is every one marked
as simh.

And how many are real machines, but not actual DEC
machines? (yes, there
are some!)
It'd be very interesting to see some statistics...
I think the price for the oddest systems might be Multics.
My statistics are, as mentioned, not perfect, as the nodename database
is not always fully correct or even complete. But it do give some fun
statistics at least.
Pretty fun, the stuff I can easily do from Datatrieve with what I have
stored in there.
