I agree with Oskar on this one. Don't drop fields. By allowing unknown
fields to pass through Freenet, not only do we allow forward
compatibility, but we allow uses of Freenet that we might not have
conceived of. Think of networks layed out on top of Freenet that have
somewhat different behavior but use the core protocol for routing.
