How about: we should add ARKs to the list of things necessary for 0.5.1, because we don't really know what the likely effects are of autodetecting the IP address for permanents without ARKs, and because there will probably be more nodes deployed at 0.5.1 than in any of the minor point releases (0.5.0.x), and maybe more than 0.5.2 too. I am also of the opinion that it is probably no more than a day's work to implement it, although I can make no firm estimates with regards to testing/debugging. Initially we need to be fairly strict with the criteria for permanence; this might change later if we determine a good way to use semipermanent nodes. > > Ian. > > -- > Ian Clarke ian@[freenetproject.org|locut.us|cematics.com] > Latest Project http://cematics.com/kanzi > Personal Homepage http://locut.us/
