Freenet seems to ensure that no Freenet node operator can know what is
stored on their system. Game programmers face a completely different
problem: how can you know that the thing to which you're talking is an
``official'' client or server. The intent is to stop robots -- or at
least non-approve clients -- connecting to servers, even though
they're speaking the protocol correctly.

The actual backends won't have an index beyond, ``here are the article
IDs which I have''.

This is what a classifier would do.
