@cjd @schmittlauch @lain @emacsen Also, there are two things that can be gossiped:
- who has the content
- the content
presumably we'd do the former, but occasionally as part of the system "grab" bits of interesting stuff?

@cjd @schmittlauch @lain @emacsen Another thing I'm really unsure of:
Should a node, once it has content that is "important" to it (eg, let's say my node containing this very post) continue to hold onto it and respond to queries asking for content?
On the one hand, this helps important content survive. On the other hand, it helps reveal who has the content.
I wonder if we can make progress on this without going full-freenet ;)
