[tahoe-dev] use case request for accounting/leasedb

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

Folks:

I've written a trac ticket to track this issue. The description
includes both my use case, which I hope I explained clearly enough,
and a proposed protocol which I think would satisfy it and would fit
in with the rest of the LAFS protocol. Of course, the use case (or the
problem statement) should be judged separately from the proposed
solution.

You might think the use case is "bad" and I should stop wanting that
(if so, please explain why!) or you might think that the use case is a
desirable thing, but that it would be impossible or too hard to
implement, or you might think that it is a desirable and feasible
thing, but that it should be implemented differently than the protocol
I sketched out.

Please comment! Thanks!

Ticket #1832
