Yes, but *one* tool. Previously, we had (well, still have) bunch of tool
breaking in random placed and times. So, having single tool to fix is
already big improvement over what we had and exactly the requirement
put into implementing that.

Well, most of our clients for that are shell-based, so we need
shell-based "API layer" anyway.

Famous last words ;-). We definitely need general publishing/access API
for our file storage infrastructure which would cover all usecases
we've been hitting for a long time. Designing, passing thru review,
implementing such API is not a 1 day task though...


So, the ideas are good and I appreciate them (having similar feeling for
the need of it), but let's first get everyone on the same line regarding
using one supported tool, and perfectalize its implementation later.

In that regard, I'd really like to get feedback on licensing handling
(UI interaction wise) - unless you're lawyer, you can never be sure it's
done right, and I'd hate something obvious to be missed and pop up
later.
