What's the reason to think that churn causes clustering? I can see how
#freenet-refs would create clusters of newbies, but it's not obvious to
me that churn would have that effect, on either darknet or opennet.

Could you place the new node at a random location and then connect it to
each existing node with probabilities given by the Kleinberg
distribution? (Or a more realistic social network model... but which one?)
