It's an efficiency thing rather than a security thing. Using CHKs
means that no space is wasted on having multiple copies of the data
stream in Freenet.
It's entirely possible to put stuff in under 32K without an
autoredirect, and in fact if you do it programmatically, you can get
around that 32K limit and put (say) a 300Mb file directly in to a KSK.
