Comment (by bertagaz):

 End users won't have to do this, as in the proposition, they would still
 use the guenuine historical way of using tahoe-lafs: basedir and all
 content will reside in ${HOME}/.tahoe. This is already how meskio did it.

 Still what we're trying to achieve is helping sysadmins to deploy tahoe-
 lafs instances system-wide, by having it better integrated in
 distributions, with other tools. Usualy it goes by respecting standards,
 like FHS and hier. +1 on gtd's and amontero's proposal btw.

 What is proposed is to let sysadmins being able to manage easily nodes on
 their systems. Regarding the 'multitude' of options, as sysadmins they
 should know how to do that. Good documentation, maybe an tahoe create-node
 helper is certainly something to ship...

 Still they would just have to use the full options on node creation, then
 the relevant directories will be found in the tahoe.cfg file.
