Why what? Why is it not advantageous? Because you want all of the
references to your node to be for the same address so that you will hold a
consistent part of the keyspace. That increases the probability that a
key routed to you will actually be for something in your
datastore. Fragmenting your keyspace into multiple addresses decreases the
probability that you will have anything that you're asked for.
