Comment(by zooko):

 I don't agree with what Brian said "Grids with heterogeneous-capacity
 storage nodes ... will not be able to offer uniform high reliability for
 all files."  I think whether it will work in practice depends on a lot of
 operational/sysadmin/tools/monitoring questions, such as the ones imhavoc
 mentioned.   And in fact, several of the features that imhavoc asked for
 are already there:
  * mark a storage node as read-only: check -- see
 [source:docs/configuration.txt]
  * report available storage: you could set up munin and use the
 [source:misc/munin munin plugins] (or implement #648)
  * servers of happiness: coming soon in v1.6! (#778)
  * daemon to mail status updates: possibly triggered by munin?
