Comment (by warner):

 This is a great idea, especially since one of the failure modes for
 mutable files (when a share is migrated to a new server, causing the
 write-enabler to become wrong, causing the share to get "stuck" at some
 old version) is that it's never going to be able to get rid of that old
 share, so the file will always appear "unhealthy". In that case,
 constantly clobbering the perfectly-valid most-recent-version shares is
 obviously wrong.
