Fair point. It&#x27;s not necesarily the case that you&#x27;d see extensively P2P nodes. But again, a distributed <i>protocol</i> based system would allow for local supernodes, competently administered, to exist.<p>There&#x27;s also the issue that client nodes, under <i>any</i> model, <i>also</i> require security updates and practices. The universal P2P model really isn&#x27;t far from that, and certain auto-updating models seem arguably preferable to present offerings.
