The things I find amusing are the propensity for "decentralise the X" project leaders to be ignorant of prior art, and the willingness of the communities that form around those projects to overlook the cost of that ignorance.

However, I see no evidence of that with CJDNS. What makes you think it is anything but an honest stab at a hard problem?

I think it is an honest attempt and I have a sincere interest in cjdns as a neat piece of tech, but anyone with even a passing familiarity with the literature could have predicted the necessity of this change. It just makes me wonder what other landmines are yet to be discovered...
Are you referring to the necessity of supernodes?
