Comment (by zooko):

 Replying to [comment:1 davidsarah]:
 > If this field were moved from {{{[node]}}} to {{{[client]}}}, then for
 compatibility with existing {{{tahoe.cfg}}} files we'd have to accept it
 in either place, and specify which took precedence (or give an error if it
 is in both places), and document that.

 Good points.

 > Is it really worth the complexity?

 I would say "yes", except that the very existence of {{{tempdir}}} is
 hated by me (see one of my favorite tickets, #1288), so I guess I would
 rather spend my time trying to make {{{tempdir}}} obsolete than migrating
 it as you say.
