To clarify, some servers may not have RSA on but do NOT allow borgs. The primary Bronco servers, pickled and continuum, fit this definition, or they would not be listed as Bronco servers. The primary reason RSA is currently disabled on pickled is due to MacTrek players who can't verify properly yet. When they are able to verify and sufficient time has passed for them to upgrade, I envision re-enabling RSA. This is less to prevent borg clients (a motivated individual can bypass RSA without too much trouble), but more to keep everyone on the same clientbase (and a clientbase that has been vetted and agreed upon not to be a borg) and allow easy identification of clients.
