I disagree.  They probably shouldn't beacon for very many hops, and  
certainly not very often, but it's important to know about the digis  
so you can get an idea of what the network infrastructure is like in  
your area (and an idea of how far your packet will travel with a  
given path).

I think there's probably a happy medium between this extreme and  
direct only. (:
