[tahoe-dev] expiration of shares that never had a lease?

[Greg Troxel]

I'm not entirely clear on the 'tahoe debug catalog-shares' output, but
it seems that field 6 is the remaining lease duration.   On a pubgrid
server, I find that about half the shares have 0 in this field, and the
files are quite old.

So can shares be created without a lease?  (Perhaps, on a server that
didn't have expiration enabled?)

Should shares with no lease be removed?   Perhaps they should be treated
as having a 30-day lease from creation time?

Those shares have mod times of Feb 13 and Jul 29, respectively.
