Way more anonymous than the current system if you're hiding from the
Enforcers. The point isn't that nobody knows who what you're doing, it's
that the people you don't want to know don't know. I'd much rather connect
to people I trust than random strangers, though I can very much see why
you would prefer to connect to strangers than people you know. It's
personal preference which way you want to do it and I think Freenet users
should get both options.

Not at all. A request to a gateway might go into the cluster or might go
to the public network or might go through both.
