Yes, I know. But why then did we do the rewrite in 2007 which killed
old sites and a lot of momentum?

Also what I saw was mostly work done on Opennet and really easy fixes
for Darknet ignored. I mean, a core developer¹ delaying the ordering of
n2ns by time for years. I’m pretty sure that this alone killed at least
one of my darknet connections, if not two.

that took me three re-readings to get the “don’t disagree” right :)

For my personal threat model hybrid works. Whistleblowers definitely
need darknet with FOAF.

What security properties would you assume for someone who has a
darknet connection with FOAF (explicitly: routing over all darknet
peers of the darknet peer) when the darknet peer has 5 other darknet
friends? Would that suffice for a whistleblower who logs into Freenet
5 times, communicates over Freemail and logs off after less than an
hour? (the journalist-whistleblower workflow)

For whistleblowers: Darknet invitations, Darknet FOAF, transport
plugins (to hide the connections from ISP-level monitoring), WoT with
faster bootstrapping (getting the initial IDs).

Best wishes,
Arne
