I tried to find more info on your restricted routes approach, and from what I can gather, I2P would collapse if any more than a small subset of the network elected to use restricted routes. In contrast, Freenet 0.7 should happily deal with a case where 100% of the peers linked exclusively to trusted peers. As such, it is rather disingenuous to argue that I2P is not harvestable just because a small subset of the peers in the network can remain hidden, the vast majority of the peers in I2P will and indeed, must remain harvestable for the network to work.
