Explain to me why this is a problem, please. The only issue I can
think of is if someone were trying to overload Freenet, but if they
were, they could just use other, randomly-generated files.
Additionally, it's fairly easy to stick data into Freenet above the
32k KSK/SVK/SSK boundary, if you know what you're doing.
The only thing I can think of that would be a problem is if someone
were -accidentally- re-inserting files, for example, by doing
something like setting metadata on an image in a Web page for each day
that it was updated ("Date.Issued=[today]").
-OR- if two people had the same MP3, and they try to put rich metadata
on it, and insert it, I guess that'd be bad, too. Actually, this is
probably the worst. Although we're never going to get around the
problem of a song encoded in two different formats or by two different
encoders giving different CHKs...
Anyways, I don't think this is such an absolute thing, and I think
CHKs should go across data and metadata.
