Because it's no-longer content addressing: if you are addressing your content by a name, to allow it to mutate, then you aren't addressing it by its content. You're addressing it by a name.
And not to beat a dead horse, but IPNS doesn't work very well. These days people tend to build their own naming systems using layers of IPLD hashes instead.
- viraptor 4y agoYou're still using content addressing. Any mirrors made stay the same. Any changes are preserved as new versions. All versions are still accessible by their hashes. The fact that you have some extra names on top of that doesn't change the base system.
- toomim 4y agoThose features are not what defines content addressing. Content addressing is defined as an address for a document that is a function of its content. If your address is a function of a public key, then you're using "agent key addressing."
