Well, Tavin is back on the case, although he is continuing to keep a low 
profile.  He may be able to work on these within the next two weeks, but 
we shouldn't delay the release if he can't.

Perhaps the best interim solution is to ensure that they are preserved 
to ensure future backward compatability.

Such a model certainly exists for some software, however reliance on 
that topology would dramatically slow adoption of Freenet software. 
 Yes, if people could set up "My Freenet Page" websites, which include 
regularly updated seed-node lists, then that might be acceptable, but if 
each new installation requires one-on-one interaction then our adoption 
rate will never approach that which it could be.
