As one of the users who is stuck in this situation, I'm sure everyone
understands why I view that argument with a small amount of hostility,
right?

[hostile statement removed upon reconsideration.  To sum it up in a 
non-hostile fashion, while I understand that drastic measures may be
nessesary to fix the routing issues that freenet is currently experiencing,
do you seriously believe that throwing off everyone with shitty connectivity
is the solution?  I'll accept it if this is seriously believed, right, but
i'm sure everyone understands that I don't really wish to be thrown off
freenet, despite the voices in my head sometimes telling me otherwise :-p]
