Yep..  Thats my concern as well.  And it follows from the way freenet
operates.  You may have 5-10 hops, but those hops are designed to traverse
as much of freenet as possible since each server makes its 'best guess' as
to which server has the data.  We don't want data clustered.  This is why
storing by CHK is appealing to me.  The hash of any two documents is
likely to be wildly different, even if they themselves differ by only a
single bit.  Thus like files will be scattered over the network so there
is no one point of failure.
