Hi! I'm proposing some changes to addr handling in Bitcoin Core, and trying to ensure there will not be negative consequences for other clients on the network. For more information about the changes, please see my mailing list post. The crux is that, if the changes are accepted, bitcoin core would stop sending addr messages to peers who don't "indicate interest" aka initiate an addr-related message (addr, addrv2, getaddr, or sendaddrv2).

I'd like to ensure that bcoin clients will initiate an addr related message to outbound peers. I've looked in the code and believe the software plays nice, and am looking for a +1 from someone more familiar with this project.

My understanding of the bcoin code is that upon opening a connection, the node will advertise its own address & usually send a getaddr message, based on the functionality in handleOpen. If this understanding is accurate, there should be no compatibility issues with my proposed changes. Does this seem right?

Thanks in advance!
