If you trust somebody on Frost, that doesn't automatically mean you want
to connect to them. Firstly, they get your IP address; they need to be
very trustworthy for this; far more than other connections, as they know
who you are on Frost. Secondly, it's possible that the connection will
be exposed by e.g. traffic analysis (although obviously this is very bad,
and we want to avoid it by means of alternate transports).
