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.

Because if your info happens to be stored on only a couple of nodes, and they disconnect, suddenly no one knows who you are, except you. That's not a very safe solution, see my other reply to Jaan's post.
