Hiding user IPs

Is it necessary for the Lw syetem to reveal the user's IP during either UL, DL or searches.

Could the developers of the software not find a way of ensuring the anonimity of users?? Maybe by having a voluntary username system or suchlike?

What are the reasons for allowing IPs to be revealed? Is it possible to even set up any of the Gnutella programs to conceal the information of end users?

Would be very interested to hear from anyone with specific knowledge of the systems etc.

Thanks for your time.
