@mattly I think these developers have made some trade-offs in a tricky space, opting for a solution which strikes a balance between usefulness, impedance, and privacy.

No matter where they end up in the final solution space, there will be people who say "WTF"

I think they've done a pretty good job shipping something that works as-expected for most people while providing documentation for the curious and knobs for the dissatisfied.

Sorry you got this surprise! I hope it didn't ruin your day.

@duncanbeevers perhaps, but even so I don’t think they’re very up front about the design choice or those trade offs. Nothing from the sun thing homepage indicates to me it’s a p2p program, and if it had I would have known immediately it wasn’t what I wanted
