True. AudioGalaxy and SoulSeek have already done this to a degree and demonstrated that it works in practice.

I agree. Many p2p networks (Gnutella and FastTrack among them) have been so far mostly content-oriented and lacked the basic tools for community formation. I would expect this to change soon as the benefits of community-oriented p2p become more obvious to the masses.
