Comment (by warner):

 Ticket/dependency updates:

 The chart in #1942 has been removed (the ticket remains open to track a
 new implementation, but it is no longer privacy-relevant). We added
 `[node] reveal-IP-address = false` to #1010 (instead of `anonymous =
 true`. We aren't worried about randomizing tubids (since we don't share
 tubs anymore, and scaled back "anonymous" to be just "hide the IP
 address"), and added a `--hide-ip` CLI arg to `tahoe create-node`.

 We're working on #2773 (which I want in this release, because I think
 --location/--port/--hostname is an important server-setup step, and it
 makes manual setup of a Tor-based server easier). I think we can use #2490
 to track `--listen=tor`, for the automatic server setup, but I'm not
 concerned about getting that part into 1.12.

 #68 is probably a good nice-to-have, and I haven't yet figured out how
 this should interact with #467 and/or #573 (the two "static server
 selection" tickets), but I don't think either are necessary to declare our
 tor/i2p support complete.

 So I'm gonna says that 1.12 is blocked on #2773, but not on #2490. And
 this ticket (#517) can be closed when:

 * #2773 is closed (`create-node --location/--port/--hostname`, for manual
 server config)
 * #2490 is closed (`create-node --listen=tor`, for automatic server
 config)
 * and we have docs about both manual and automatic configuration
