This is only a bad idea if you enjoy having RNF and DNF ruin your freenet using experience. I suggest you actualy try the patch and see how effective it is at pulling pages through that DNF at HTL 25 after 3 or 4 attempts (just leave your page open over night and you run a good chance of having it waiting for you in the morning).
Regarding the "flood the network" switch, we allready have frost which does a plenty good job of flooding the network. I'm no freenet expert but I suspect the ammount of trafic this will generate (one request every couple to 10 minutes at high HTL) is minimal compared to the load that frost places on the network.
