Comment:

 In the changes to docs/configuration.rst:
  * "an old-style file file" -> "an old-style file"
  * "ticket #1423" should be a link
  * the change starting "These values control the tradeoff" should be in a
 separate patch. Also that text isn't quite right: "assuming there are at
 least ``N`` servers, up to ``N``-``k`` servers can be offline without
 losing the file" implicitly assumes that the shares are all stored on
 different servers.
  * "There are two kinds of gatherers. Both produce a FURL which needs to
 be placed in the ``NODEDIR/tahoe.cfg `` file..." -- say which fields of
 the file.

 Otherwise +1.
