Comment (by zooko):

 attachment:backends-configuration-docs-v2.darcs.patch looks good to me.
 One thing I would change is to remove the "Issues" section about the costs
 of querying S3 objects and the effects on our crawler/lease-renewal
 scheme. I'm not sure that this branch will eventually land without a
 lease-checker implemented, so that part is making a statement that might
 be wrong. Also I'm not really sure the costs of querying S3 objects are
 worth mentioning. The [http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ current S3
 pricing] has 10,000 GET requests for $0.01. Let's remove that
 documentation for now and add in documentation when we understand better
 what the actual limitations or costs will be.
