Another question to bore you guys ;)

I understand a message with ahops-to-live value of 1 is sometimes still
forwarded on, to reduce the information an attacker could get out of it.
What I don't understand, is what information could be learned from the
fact thatsomeone will be the last node reached on the path. 

For example, why would I want to know that some node at the end of the
path replies with a Reply.NotFound message? What kind of discriminating
information could I get from that?

Thanks,

--nico
