The ability to actually delete shares, for those of us who are afraid to run the garbage collector because we're afraid to forget to renew leases, would be neat in support of features like this sort of re-balancing. (And perhaps for distant-future human-intervention space reclamation too.) Sometimes we (people like me) do have a bunch of machines all operating that are all 100% under our own control, but I understand that tahoe was built more for mass-participation and not necessarily people who are using private grids as a fault-resistant, ultra-reliable backup mechanism. _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
