Comment (by gdt):

 I broadly concur with zooko in comment 7.   Sort of related, as I've been
 setting up storage nodes in a private grid, I find myself wishing for the
 grid parameters to be in a separate file from the local parameters, so
 that I could copy the grid-params.conf file around and just drop it in,
 and not have that overwrite the node id.

 Beyond this, I think that probably one should have a directory to
 represent client access, and that would then have the aliases file, the
 backupdb, and a pointer to the WAPI.  The gateway node directory would
 then be separate.   Once this is done, the CLI probably should lose the
 ability to specify the WAPI URL directly, and only point to client
 directories.
