I went and read about SSK's and redirects and metadata.  It seems that
the whole structure of Freenet above the CHK level (i.e. the fproxy
interface and the whole browsing experience) absolutely requires
the ability to route requests for keys which are "well known."

Otherwise, there must be some out-of-band distribution system for
revised keys.  Frankly, I think that it will be necessary to find
such a system to achieve the anonymity and censorship resistance
goals of Freenet, but the present implementation needs fixed keys.
