You can't remove this.  Thats part of the logic that creates anonymity in
Freenet.

One thing that has been discussed recently on IRC, and that I'm quite fond
of is increasing the probability that a new node will in fact reset the
DataSource field.  Using a decay algorithm discussed many months back, a
new node would start out with probability 1 that it will reset the
datasource, them throttle back by 60% each time, until it reaches the
global constant of 1/30 chance.

Its probably just as okay to have the node simply add empty datastore
references for new nodes it contacts.  No need to mess with the routing in
such a weird way.
