Comment (by dawuud):

 in my dev branch i've changed the introducer client a bit to include an
 extra parameter in the constructor, the filename to save/load the YAML
 cached announcements. is this OK?

 I made the introducer client save/update announcements it receives to this
 YAML config_file. Although it's a bit inefficient that it must load the
 announcement list and then append the new announcement and then write the
 whole thing to replace the file. But I guess this is what we get for
 trying to make a human editable configuration for this instead of using
 local database like sqlite or something.
