Ah, if you are using AutoConnect, TunnelServer or StrictSubnets, tinc
keeps information from nodes that have a file in hosts/ alive.

Maybe I should allow the reachable keyword for the dump graph command as
well, so you can do:

tincctl -n <netname> dump reachable graph

...and not see any nodes which are unreachable. Is that what you want?
