Does JXTA create hybrid P2P applications?

Hi, I was wondering if JXTA would be classed as a hybrid P2P platform, where peers host their own resources and communicate without centralized servers, using servers only to initiate communication, or a Pure P2P platform where in the network is completely de-centralized. I ask this as even though JXTA does not rely on centralized servers as such, it does rely in most cases on hardcoded rendevous peers during bootstrapping to learn of other rendezvous peer, so beyond bootstrapping they are no longer used. Does this make JXTA a hybrid P2P platform? Thanks in advance. Robert
