Certainly I don't mean to suggest that the sftp support isn't high
quality.  But I think it's premature to declare it a complete solution.
Specifically:

  1) As far as I can tell, one has to use a password, and it won't work
  via an authorized_keys file.  This makes it awkward.

  2) It seems one ends up listening on a port, on all addresses.
  Ideally, there would be no internet-listening socket involved.

  3) Setup is non-trivial, with accounts files and keys.  Ideally, one
  could just

    mount_tahoe /home/gdt/.tahoe-pubgrid:tahoe ~/tahoe-pubgrid

  and have it use the tahoe: alias, by virtual of CLI tools being able
  to read private/aliases.
