I don't disagree that having content discovery would be nice, but IFPS makes a pretty good case [1] about what it brings to the table over HTTP. My point was that HTTP also has "zero out-of-the-box support" for content discovery, yet once search engines came out, we were fine.

If by fine you mean a centralized search engine is a good solution for a decentralized network, then yeah.
