Don't forget also that sometimes it's difficult to tell whether or not a node 
needs it. If a node is behind a smart firewall, it might be able to receive 
packets from anyone it's talked to (recently), but not from the rest of the 
circle network. Autodetecting this would be possible, but non-trivial; you'd 
probably end up having to test against all the smart firewalls out there...
