People have requested this, but then other people have requested
making sure that some shares go to their own computers. I think it is
a difference between the "long term backup" use case and the "retain
quick access/file-sharing" use case. The general issue to allow
different users to configure for their different use cases is

I personally think this is a "high value" feature for Tahoe-LAFS—I
think it would open up a lot of new use cases. But nobody is, as far
as I know, currently working on it.
