This is supposed to improve to the situation relative to e.g. Electrum, where
there are far fewer Electrum servers than fullnodes.
Of course, as ariard computes, deploying BIP157 could

There doesn't seem to be anything in the original email that's specific to
BIP 157. It's a restatement of the arguments against light clients:
- light clients are a burden on the full nodes that serve them
- if light clients become more popular, there won't be enough full

Thanks for sharing your thoughts ZmnSCPxj. I think I can summarize your
concern as: A node without direct internet connectivity can not rely on an
opportunistically incentivized local network peer for blockchain
information because the off-grid node's direct LN peers could collude to
