According to ArneBab, this has changed significantly recently due to a
bug fix: We were over-counting high uptime nodes. So we have fewer high
uptime nodes than we thought.

It's hard to read though. Steve, could you add a cumulative distribution
line or something, so we can say e.g. X% of nodes have uptime > 50%?

It has significant consequences for long-term strategy: If most nodes
have low uptime then darknet is very much harder. While the times when
your node is operational may correlate strongly with those for your
friends, when we get a few hops in any random direction this will run
into problems. At best we get dramatically different available data
depending on the time of day; at worst, even with friend-of-a-friend
connections (and maybe for more hops than that!), we could get a
fragmentary network, i.e. no global connectivity at certain times of day.

Please don't take this as a Council of Doom - there are things we can do
about this, e.g. making it very easy to run Freenet on a Pi. But first
we need to clearly quantify the problem.
