i automatically assumed the latter, because p2p storage is a non-trivial task 
that multiple teams are working to solve, and it's yet to be seen which one 
will work out in the long run.

BTW, due to this it's a good idea to have ERIS between Guix and the various 
storage backends.

a Guix-specific p2p storage solution would be less exposed to abuse initially, 
but probably not forever.
