I don't think on practice anybody would need more than 2 or let's say 8 (in the most paranoid case) entries. So a simple array of pointers might be a better fit here.

The problem with a static array is always that you never know how much is enough. Yes one could put a pointer array with a size of 10 into the BTS struct, but then you are limited to 10 (arbitrary limit) and when the user edits the list from the VTY one would need logic to allocate/free and possibly re-order the items in that array. I am really happy with the linuxlist implementation we have, it works well for many things.
