Thanks, Shawn, for... should I say "sorting it out"? I hope noone feels 
sorted out.

I'll just comment on your comments here.

If the general goal is data security, then availability (uptime) is 
indeed more important than speed. Indeed, from a cheater's perspective, 
offering such a node would not make any sense at all, as our uploads on 
his node will be faster than his downloads. So yes, no problem at all 
from my side, as long as the node remains online.

That aside, Eugen also has a record of knowing what he does (google 
him). A most definite YES from my side.

Agreed. I'm not opposed to anyone, but a 1GB drive costs almost nothing 
nowadays.

... agreed, and: from what I read so far, Aaron has some experience with 
python, and would indeed be interested to help with tahoe development. 
I'm in favor of giving him full access, trusting that he's not going to 
bring down our particular grid.

yep.
