I'd see that as a hard requirement to meet. Better search fu than I had. Kudos. Connectivity completion in graphs is an example of a critical phenomenon. Even uniformly selected graphs that have average degree above a relatively small threshold will be completely connected with high probability. With power law networks, the threshold also applies. (look up Erdos/Renyi model, percolation theory and giant components). The practical effect of this is that having even a handful of signatures on keys on average will cause a wide-spread web of trust.
