I'm going to chime in here to express a general desire that Tahoe, as  
packaged for general distribution, not deploy a node that connects to  
the production grid and advertises storage.

I'd further prefer that the node not advertise storage by default even  
if you do give it the production introducer furl. (the tahoe-server  
branch is obviously a special case here)

A package called 'allmydata-client' or similar that depends on the  
general tahoe package and sets up a tahoe client directory for use  
with allmydata.com would be cool, but in the absence of the blessed- 
introducer stuff, I'd like to avoid lots of machines connecting to  
the .com grid and showing up in the list of storage servers.
