The number of routers in a group can be computed with the help of the repetitions parameter. num_routers should not be specified in the parameters.

While it's redundant and could be derived from existing parameters in the configuration file. I think there is value for the user to be able to look at two different configuration files and know how many routers there are per group instantaneously. This is a won't-fix for now.
