 The doc meant that client nodes need not be aware of backend type.
 Although the current hack to wire up a !StorageServer to a backend in
 [attachment:pluggable-backends-davidsarah-v5.darcs.patch] is in
 allmydata/client.py, that code isn't actually run by clients, it is run
 only when setting up a storage server.
