Why?

Isn't it enough to know only those peers that you are connected to and deal with directly? More like memorizing and recognizing your hotlist, ignore list and perhaps a few thousand of your recent transfer and chat contacts. You could still communicate and co-operate with unknown peers using agreed-on protocols.
