Looking at the tools people already built on top of Freenet, which only
gives them an API, I don’t think this is necessarily true.

But it helps to have the possibility to move some implementation from
the client layer to the network layer — this is what for example Freenet
did when site updates via "I’ll just insert to sites with incremented
version number" were turned into USKs (updatable subspace key) that
added date-hints to reach O(1) update detection.

So I agree to some degree :-)

Best wishes,
Arne
