Oh yes the blocking done by universities. Do you also know that you can get around that by using something like Socks2http and use a proxy.. Its a pain to get working but it works. Isps/universities blocking is a problem for all of P2P and isnt specific to just gnutella...

It's a big problem. Let's imagine 1000 students have been blocked, only a few computer geeks manage to set up a working tunneling (and might get caught). The majority, let's say 900 student are off or will move to an alternative P2P system. With every university or ISP the RIAA convinces/forces to block, gnutella will loose users, bandwith and files.
However I got your point, you think Gnutella is safe and has more umportant problems, okay.
Personally I would be interest in ideas how to make Gnutella stronger and remove possible weak spots. Anyone has ideas?
