This is a bigger issue than a single person's opinion - it's just plainly an
unacceptable risk. I totally agree with Timo here.

'Just works' isn't an acceptbale reason to ship a hard coded third party
sever as part of a widely used FOS library and tool.

I admit I was large absent from the original (many) rounds or review,
but I'm kind of surprised it was merged as-is, to be honest. Frankly either
it should've been merged as "batteries not included", or should have been
a whole IPFS implementation.

However, regardless of how this came to be (whether reasonable or not), this
should be removed.
