If you do that, you will only be able to run mailmanctl and qrunners on
one server. The master lock
/var/lib/mailman/locks/master-qrunner.<FQDN>.<numeric string> is
intended to prevent accidentally running more than one mailmanctl on
the same server.

If you have a problem with this, please give more detail.
