Bug Description
"Remote" realms---realms for which the trust router knows only that a realm exists---were introduced to allow testing of trust route flooding before community flooding was implemented. As far as I know, there is no plausible use case for these now that community information is shared between peers. It would be a good idea to remove these. I don't think it should affect any configurations in actual use.
Correction/
There is a balance to strike between ease of use and protection against problems created by typos. It is somewhat inconvenient to have to list remote realms twice, but it does avoid a single error from creating an imaginary realm and silently hiding the fact that the actual realm is not being properly included in the community.
