 Replying to [comment:3 daira]:
 > (Currently, that is to upload a deletion marker, which will cause other
 nodes to rename their copy of the file to `$FILENAME.backup` if they have
 it, or do nothing if they do not already have it.)

 Actual deletion does not happen anyways, does it? Could backup files also
 be named `$FILENAME.backup_<timestamp>`? But his accumulates a lot of old
 files over time… for users that do not want this, it could be optional.
