Why do you prefer CAN-style routing over Chord? (just curious)

Your design document says "the amount of resources used by the network
depends on the amount of stuff that gets stored on it." Besides the
obvious fact that a finite number of machines only have a finite amount
of disk space, not allowing node owners to control disk usage seems a
bit unfriendly, if that's really what Grapevine does.
