I remember the Gnutella vs. Gnutella 2 debacle. That was pretty and crippled Gnutella quite badly — even though Gnutella 2 actually had similar goals as Gnutella. That’s the historical precedent. You can learn from it and avoid such steps, or you can ignore it. Keep in mind that Locutus does not have privacy as a goal: if it harms the original Freenet like "Gnutella 2" harmed Gnutella, then privacy on the web suffers.
