 We should definitely focus of [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-
 lafs/trunk/docs/quickstart.html quickstart.html], and don't people
 alternatives to quickstart.html unless they specifically ask or have some
 specific needs that don't fit quickstart.html.

 I personally wouldn't go so far as to recommend ''against'' using
 {{{easy_install}}} just because it is sort of beyond the scope of Tahoe-
 LAFS. Once we merge #1054 then Tahoe-LAFS works with {{{easy_install}}} at
 least as well as any other Python package does, and people have developed
 their own opinions and techniques about it. On the other hand, [http
 ://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/668?replyto=23#comment:19 your
 specific reason] to recommend against it is novel as far as I know and
 potentially quite useful knowledge to others. It isn't Tahoe-LAFS specific
 and might be best expressed in a bug report or an email message to
 distutils-sig.

 So, I'm ±0 on dis-recommending {{{easy_install allmydata-tahoe}}}.
