Catch-22. We need support for the latest stuff in freenetmirror so we can
test the latest stuff. IMHO you should add support for these and MSKs.
Then we can really start to beat on them. Support for MSKs is really
trivial, you just need to insert the stuff in the specified directory as
CHKs and add their filename/CHK pairs to a hashtable. Then read through
and insert the hashtable under the key specified in -mapFile (or another
key redirected to from it, if it's a KSK).
The date-based redirects are already in InsertClient, so it shouldn't be
very hard to copy them. Quite a few options, but they all make sense. I
don't like a the format of the key. For example,
freenet:SSK@AwypMJH9hhiQWxwb0m6CygNe3~Cm6Y15/20001230000000-blah
could more intuitively be
freenet:SSK@AwypMJH9hhiQWxwb0m6CygNe3~Cm6Y15/blah/20001230000000
or maybe
freenet:SSK@AwypMJH9hhiQWxwb0m6CygNe3~Cm6Y15/20001230000000/blah
and that bugs me. I also didn't like the fact that the key you redirect to
has to be in the same subspace (or a KSK) as the redirect. But on second
thought it makes the code easier to write and use, and it mandates that
all redirects to subspaces are actually in the subspace, as opposed to an
insecure KSK, so it encourages others to link directly to the redirect
within the subspace, as they should.

Shouldn't stable mean "We've tried this stuff for a week with
freenetmirror and it all seems to work."?
