2325	maybe stop using tac files to indicate node type?	daira	warner	"In [ticket:1159#comment:50], warner wrote:

I'm not sure that we do want this; a simpler approach would be to keep the `.tac` file marker, possibly just as a zero-length file. That would keep nodes created by future versions runnable by 1.11 (although not by earlier versions). Still, I've created this ticket to discuss it, and to allow us to close #1159."	defect	new	normal	eventually	code-nodeadmin	1.10.0		cli config
