The intention of 20762 was not to change the semantics of the node_to_*
lists. It's simply supposed to make available max_node_id to the toolstack
(since this can differ from nr_nodes if there are holes in the online node
map).

If the node_to_* semantics really have been changed by 20762, then it is a
bug. It's not a bug I can eyeball however.
