IMHO we need to make freenet work before we make 
it workfast. And the timescale on making it work may be a timescale 
of years.

Ah, toad...you eternal optimist, you! ;-) 

Lets say decennia, to be on the safe 
side!!

If the exploit is that low level, I don't really see 
how it could work,except perhaps by exploiting a remote execution 
hole in the hostoperating system (or JVM).

Hmm..well, that may be a bit too much of 
'brushing off'. Whether or not is is a fault in Freenet itself or in the JVM/OS, 
ultimately, it changes nothing to the (proclaimed) fact that people can discover 
the original IP address. It may be low-level, and encryption may not be broken, 
but one of the main goals of Freenet is still based on plausable deniability, me 
thaught.

What he says may be completely FUD, but if it 
is true, then I don't think it does any good to say "Oh, but that ain't a 
freenet-bug, it's a JVM bug". That will be of little consolation to people who 
are using freenet.
