Comment:

 calling this "wontfix" -- not "wontfix ever" but "wontfix any time soon".

 The main obstacle here as I see it is that our current network design
 doesn't make good use of low-resourced users, and our current UX design
 doesn't provide a friendly way to enable "surprise sharing".

 To turn that around, we'll need to work on our network topology and
 directory structure and measurement strategies a lot, before we can even
 talk about growing to hundreds of thousands of users.
