We don't see all that many supernodes in practice. The netflow traffic
isn't much of a problem. One other thing we've done is we picked a UDP
port to be open on the firewall for inbound connections for Skype, and
we have everyone set Skype to use this port for incoming connections, a
setting on the Advanced preferences pane on my copy; don't remember what
the equivalent Windows setting is...
