 Do you know what percentage of users right now are connected to the top three relays?

My assumption is that it’s more than 90%. 

If I’m right (>90%) then this gravity will be hard to fight. The large relays will become stronger through network effects. 

I remember reading that the devs were going to try an inbox / outbox solution where the large relays would be used for addressing. Is that still the plan? I didn’t see any discussion on removing the dependency on the large relays. 

Did I miss that? Is there a way to remove the client dependency on the large relays? 
 Yeah, outbox/inbox is the default now. But people need to choose their own relays. Otherwise no model will work.  
 More importantly, free relays will never be decentralizing.  
 do we have any docs/faq concerning this topic?
