We should, but there is one critical disadvantage. People would trust it. And 
then the insertion key gets leaked, and really bad things happen. The solution 
to this is Revocable Subspace Keys, which have been planned for a long time but 
not yet implemented.

Well, mostly you don't need to visit the site if you're already on Freenet. We 
already provide the installers over Freenet. Ideally you'd be able to access 
the wiki and source code over Freenet ... there are tools for this already but 
we're not using them yet, and they have some fairly serious issues ...

True.

This links in to the trust issue above.

It would not be difficult to implement once we have the prerequisites.
