Comment (by str4d):

 Reviewed the commits for this ticket (from the link I posted above).

 * In comment:37 Zooko suggested `[node]anonymize` for the flag. The
 commits implement `[node]tub.anonymize` instead. I don't know what the
 Tahoe and Foolscap conventions are, but I expect that `[node]tub.*` are
 intended to be passed through to Foolscap, and this flag will not be.
 * In `check_anonymity_config()`:
     * Either the common error messages should be merged, or the error
 messages for each type of error should be more specific.
     * The code for parsing / generating endpoint strings (used here and
 elsewhere) should probably be centralized to reduce scope for bugs.
 * Lines 357 (in `_startService()`) and 429 (in `_setup_tub()`) confuse me.
 Why is `tub.location` being set to empty? Is this being written to the
 config file?
 * There are no changes yet to new `tahoe.cfg` files.
