I don't think someone would make a cancer node to be useful; they
would make one to be destructive.
Also, it'd be fairly easy to adapt Fred to do things like: bury
requests, return garbled results, etc. etc. w/r/t KSKs, I don't think
they're the only problem: As far as I can tell, Fred does -not- check
CHKs or do other verification on data it gets.

I'm not sure I buy that.
