I thought one of the points of Freenet was to make it so that if some nodes are taken 
out of the network, all of the other nodes still can function as a network (publicly). 
 No node is dependant on any other.  With clusters, it seems that if *one* node, 
namely the gateway, is removed from the network, a large number of nodes now have lost 
access, and are in effect removed from the public network.
