Suppose you don’t have all the remote participants listed in your Canton configuration.

What is the best way to get a list of the other participants connected to a domain from within a Canton (bootstrap) script?

Here is what I have. Am I overlooking a better way?

```haskell
val otherNodes = participant1.parties
  .list()
  .flatMap(_.participants.map(_.participant))
  .filter(_ != participant1.id)
  .distinct

```
