 Currently lease-renewal happens when you explicitly tell your client to
 create a file or to renew leases, and also on some other occasions. I
 ''think'' that the "other occasions" are only when you update a mutable
 file, but I'm not sure. I don't think this is appropriate because in the
 future you might want to update a file without thereby agreeing to pay for
 the file's preservation.

 To close this ticket:

 1. Read the source code and write down on this ticket all the ways that
 leases can get added or renewed.
 2. Write a patch that removes the lease renewal from all cases except for
 when the client is either creating a file or sending an "Add or Renew
 Lease" request.
 3. Of course, unit tests of step 2 are required!

 Brian: please let us know your opinion of this.
