Description (last modified by zooko)
When it fails to find a satisfactory share layout, the peer selection process for immutable files prints out a message explaining why. In that, it counts servers that did not accept shares that they were asked to as full. This is slightly confusing, since the servers may not be full, but instead may just have too little free space to accept shares of the size it was asked to accept. The error message should be changed to reflect this.

I just made up a tag "unfinished-business" to mean an issue that is in some sense caused by a recent change even though the issue is not really a regression. Maybe in the morning inventing this tag will seem like a bad idea, but then we can always delete it and never speak of it again.
