I think you've lost the reason why the original poster of this thread has
proposed FreeNS, that was because it's cumbersome to give out USK keys to
people, and it would be better to give some easy to remember name that would
almost definitely redirect to the specific key.
The essential part here is that there should be a very high chance that the
name
will mean the same thing in the *future* for a *different* person as it
currently does for you. If i suspect that somebody will have the possibility to
disallow me to use that name (whether because they believe i do not deserve
that
name or because they think that they have a right to stop people from visiting
my site) then i will not give out the name and will be forced to continue to
use
USK.
Creating some very complex system just so that it will be possible to say on
freenetproject.org "We now have a DNS-like system. Thanks to A, B, C, ... X, Y,
and Z" is useful only for the vanity of those who did that work. Now it's not a
bad thing if the alternative (easier, simpler, and better) solution did not
exist... but one does.
- Volodya
P.S. Yes i do understand that somebody could potentially start inserting fake
KSK blocks into the same key that was redirecting to a specific site, and
people
will probably start doing that, but we are talking about abusing the system...
and not building the censorship mechanism into Freenet.
