Well, first of all, that is sort of what I meant. "Blacklist nodes which are behaving badly" can be understood to mean the same as "don't route to bad nodes," except that it doesn't assume that it is safe to accept connections and request from them. After you fix routing to bad nodes, you need to see whether or not a bunch of nodes running one of the builds like 6025 which seem to lead to 5028 malfunctioning will have that effect even when you don't route to them. Maybe it's not just who you route to. Maybe you also need to be careful about who you accept connections and queries from. If the "stable" nodes were working correctly, they wouldn't have gotten terrible performance when used together with the unstable. Maybe the bad performance came because they routed to NGR nodes. Maybe it came from NGR nodes making lots of requests on them. I don't know. -- Ed Huff
