@dominic / @mix : downgrading to v2 brings back my friends. another example of a missing key would be @3a/8VgfLqnmmqO3mf0al1piEbKqvg1LqRoNd2pcsLLo=.ed25519, which is gone when I bump to v3.

I didn't try to bump pcore to v3 yet as I'm stretched on time - would love to help with a fix or better diagnosis but just a vague testing report so far...

One thing I noticed is that the ssb-friends doesn't bump it's index version and is still and 2. I manually re-indexed everything by blowing away .ssb/flume before running v3 so this shouldn't be the issue here. Not sure if this will be a problem for people upgrading, though..
