To me it seems to be a bit late in the day for a Cambrian Explosion -let a thousand anonymity networks bloom and see where it gets you.
I wouldn't say that. So long as any particular network is incapable or insufficient at resisting certain adversaries... or any of its models on the people or other sides of things are non ideal, or it just doesn't do what its users need it to do, there's in fact every expectation that other networks should and will bloom up. 1000? No of course not. Yet a handful of similar nets based on some feature chart... sure.
I was riffing a bit on Mao's infamous Hundred Flowers Campaign. "The policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is designed to promote the flourishing of the arts and the progress of science." Depends on your threat model, I suppose.
