On the one hand, you seem to be correct.  On the other hand, the
Twister codebase is very young and could probably use a few more
developers working on it.  The code reads like a first cut to me, a
"Gee, I wonder if I can do this?" sort of thing.

The traffic patterns for Twister have yet to be characterized.  It is
possible that the message exchange and DHT update traffic might crush
the inter-node links.  Time will tell.

We have a solution which works pretty well for us, if the list is
interested.

Nor am I.
