Comment (by zooko):

 I have the idea that Tahoe-LAFS is hard for people to understand, and
 maybe a reason for that is that it has ''too many concepts''. The concept
 of a "rootcap" is, in my opinion, something that should be explained but
 not named. That is, we should tell people that a good way to keep track of
 their caps is to put them into a directory and then keep track of the cap
 to that directory, but we should not use the word "rootcap".
