Comment (by zooko):

 Dear Brian: Great! The plan in comment:41 seems like a good plan, and I'm
 excited about us having consensus and a clear plan with reasonably-sized
 steps that we can chew. ☺

 One detail:

 > * Phase 1: By adding [connections] entries to tahoe.cfg (and installing
 txsocksx and/or txi2p), Tahoe clients will become capable of connecting to
 Tor/I2P servers. Additional [connections] entries will make it use Tor for
 normal servers too. tub.location= will make the client not advertise a
 listening port. [node]anonymous = true will enforce all this.

 Could we please spell this as `tub.location=AUTODETECT` instead of
 `tub.location=`? That's what I asked for in comment:40:ticket:1010, and I
 think str4d already implemented something like it (perhaps spelled `AUTO`
 instead of `AUTODETECT`), according to his comment in
 comment:43:ticket:1010.
