+ * Values choice :
+ * Advogato Trust metric recommends that values decrease by rounded 2.5
times.
+ * This makes sense, making the need of 3 N+1 ranked people to overpower
+ * the trust given by a N ranked identity.
+ *
+ * Number of ranks choice :
+ * When someone creates a fresh identity, he gets the seed identity at
+ * rank 1 and freenet developpers at rank 2. That means that
+ * he will see people that were :
+ * - given 7 trust by freenet devs (rank 2)
+ * - given 17 trust by rank 3
+ * - given 50 trust by rank 4
+ * - given 100 trust by rank 5 and above.
+ * This makes the range small enough to avoid a newbie
+ * to even see spam, and large enough to make him see a reasonnable part
+ * of the community right out-of-the-box.
+ * Of course, as soon as he will start to give trust, he will put more
+ * people at rank 1 and enlarge his WoT.
