Can you elaborate on this point? It would seem that meshing relays would've facilitated the dispersal of updates.

People generally post to 5 or so relays for censorship resistance. If you want to follow them, you need to query at least 1 of those 5 relays.

Nothing in the protocol specifies relay-to-relay communication, but nothing stops them either.
