Publishing node IPs

I understand the need to keep a list in a central server for initial connections. But why make this 
list public by publishing the IPs in a webpage?  

Isn´t it ambiguous that an anonymous network is identifying itself? By making the node IPs 
public, there is an implicit message saying "hey everyone afraid of me, here is how to block 
me".  

Granted there are other ways to obtain that information. But considering that the likely attackers 
of this network include governments, I wouldn´t make it easier for them.
