I'm still trying to understand the full effect of this... to me, low-htl 
routing (deep/tail-end) is a more interesting (e.g. for performance & actually 
finding the data), but I can certainly appreciate wanting to shield ourselves 
from newbie nodes.

I've always been a fan of tunnels, or... "union routing done right" (as there 
are several ways to do it), but some part of me thinks we need to fix our 
current problems before we (potentially) layer on more.

At the face of it, I would presume it would be better to *avoid* establishing 
tunnels through new & untrusted nodes... unless all requests go through 
tunnels, in which case it's about as sensitive as the requests you would be 
protecting (high htl, inserts, etc). So it seems the ideas are related, as 
there is probably a better chance and danger of dropping into a Sybil network 
or MAST node if they are "new", right?
