Yeah, I mean because we have to do everything except FIXING the FUCKING BUG!

Failure to resolve is not always permanent. Authentication failure does not necessarilly mean that node is broken, overloaded nodes look like authenication failures as well (there was a system for special treatment of authentication failures where the peer clearly presented the wrong Identity, but I'm not even sure I like that.) A single sustainable system for deprecating bad references is much better than a bunch of special cases depending on the nature of the problem. If the state of the network went from "ridiculous, why do you people even bother?" to "really really bad" this wouldn't even be an issue... > The node should also autosave its refs every hour (including CP) or so and > read this file on startup.
