NO, NO, NO!  We have to keep capitalism from corrupting Freenet as
much as possible.

Therefore, we must be quite paranoid when designing Freenet (which
very well may require out of band communication).  We should use PK
encryption for connections, out of band initial key exchange,
automatically obfuscating file lengths, encrypted datastores on
machines with encrypted swap partitions, etc.

If someone wants this, it should be done out of band.

This is something that can be programmed into nodes without affecting
the protocol itself.  Just have nodes record the average connection
speed with other nodes.
