---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
 As documented in [source:trunk/docs/configuration.rst?rev=5006#backwards-
 compatibility-files configuration.rst], Tahoe-LAFS before release v1.3.0
 (2009-02-13) had a different way to control configuration. Until now if
 that older way is present then it
 [source:trunk/src/allmydata/node.py?annotate=blame&rev=4852#L115
 overrides] the newer way. Let's remove any detection of the old way and
 just leave docs (in [source:trunk/docs/historical]) for anybody who needs
 to upgrade. (There are probably zero users of Tahoe-LAFS < 1.3.)

 The advantage is to simplify the docs and the configuration code and
 reduce the number of ways that things can be configured.
