I know how KSKs work, but the principle is the same. Someone can repeatedly
insert the same KSK and make different nodes store different things. A
government could easily do it, for example. "You can always use an SSK" is not
an argument if 90% of the links on freenet point to KSKs. There is definitely
potential for a name-resolution service otherwise.
