Clearly we have seen in the past that there are enough nodes that
somewhat permament that the network CAN work a hell of a lot better than
then it is now, even without transient address lookup (people may be on
DSL/Cable, but many use DynDNS).

Another reason that I think this is not an oppertune time to do it is
that we have the current network mostly for testing, and it would be
very interesting to see how much of a difference ARKs make (if any) when
implemented. You are unlikely to make any such observation in the
current quagmire of a network...
