First off, Debian privacy folks have [expressed concerns about the actual security of Tox](http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-privacy-maintainers/Week-of-Mon-20150928/000046.html), which is not a big requirement here, but nevertheless is a question worth adressing.

This problem space is more similar to [[todo/Bittorrent-like_features/#index1h1]] than XMPP. Using tox libraries may enable git-annex to share git metadata around, but would it allow git-annex to download actual files from other users through tox? How stable is tox?
