That may indicates other problems, by restrivting the number of allowed
references you could rather fix symptoms than causes. It might be a sign
for:

- Nodes replace the datasource= too eagerly with their own address when
forwarding requests

- Too many transient nodes set the datasource= to themselves, thus
having these references deleted very soon by others

- Nodes discard references to other nodes as soon as a request to one
specific file on that node fails. How about keeping references to these
nodes and trying from time to time to request something different from
them, so that you might learn about their "special" key space.

Because it prevents node specialization, if you don't allow multiple
references pointing to one node. So for having 1000 references, I'd have
to know 1000 nodes?
