Please don't let's forget that random first hop is the only thing that makes retrying of any use after we reach HTL=25 and want to keep trying, because of ftable. And I think that people will agree with me, that as it stands it frequently _does_ pay off to try HTL=25 HTL=26 HTL=27 until you get something, because the increasing HTLs will bypass ftable on your node, and random first hop will send it off in a direction that might not have an ftable entry (or at least, at a lower HTL). It frequently manages to get a document even after we've failed out at 25.
