No, you are forgetting about the DataSource field, which sets the references on Data. Currently this field references 30 hops away on average (well, it would if any requests went more than 30 hops currently). I have been saying we should decrease this to 4-5 hops on average so as to get a slightly more stable namespace, which I think will give it better characteristics, but I got no takers (and I obviously can't prove that this is so).
