In my opinion, no. Routing depends on connections having some form of
real trust behind them, or they will probably not have the correct
properties. In short, this kind of promiscuous ref-swapping is probably
bad for the network in the long run, when it grows even bigger.
More connections are better, yes. The ultimate is everyone connected to
everyone. On the other hand, that is very far from the idea of a darknet
that Freenet tries to implement.
