Comment (by davidsarah):

 Replying to [comment:22 zooko]:
 > I agree that we shouldn't recommend {{{easy_install allmydata-tahoe}}}
 as a way to set up Tahoe-LAFS, for the reasons you gave.

 Shouldn't recommend, or should recommend against?

 I'd like us to recommend against.

 > In particular, this means that if there were another Python project
 which ''depended'' on Tahoe-LAFS, that project could mark Tahoe-LAFS as a
 {{{requirement}}} and then builds/installs of that project would
 automatically set up Tahoe-LAFS and all of its dependencies.

 Yes, no problem with that. The bugs that are fixed in order to enable
 {{{easy_install}}} to work, are bugs that need fixing anyway.
