The problem of content-addressing — aside from the opaqueness to "shallow" contributions (nobody is going to install a content-addressed distributed filesystem just to report a bug to your software, don't kid yourself) — is what content-addressing means for resource updates. How do I get the most recent comment on the most recent bug report on one of my projects? In fact how do I even discover their existence from knowledge of the project's existence?
