 Here is a story that we should implement:

 As a system administrator, I install the tahoe-lafs server software on a
 machine, and I know that since I didn't install the client software, the
 process running there will not import any code which is useful only to
 clients, will not open connections to other servers (which is #344), will
 not expose client-only services (which could be a security risk), and will
 not use up extra RAM or other computational resources to do client-only
 behavior. Also, installing the tahoe-lafs server doesn't depend on other
 software packages which are needed solely for the client.

 Likewise, I can install the tahoe-lafs client software on a machine and
 have all the equivalent freedom from unexpected serverish behavior.
