1092	shares.happy is the wrong name of the measure	zooko	warner	"There is a configuration option named {{{shares.happy}}} which is how you control the servers-of-happiness value. It is mis-named! It should be named {{{servers.happy}}}. Of course, it belongs right next to {{{shares.needed}}} and {{{shares.total}}}, but hopefully placement and docs can make their intimate relationship clear. Also, {{{shares.needed}}} serves double-duty. It means both:
1. Number of shares necessary to reconstruct the file, and
2. Number of servers necessary to serve the file in a servers-of-happiness upload-quality metric.
Maybe that name should also be changed or at least documented even more carefully.
Assigning to Brian. The next step on this ticket is for Brian to study the new servers-of-happiness feature (#778) and let us know what he thinks about it, both in general and in regard to this specific issue."	defect	new	minor	soon	code-nodeadmin	1.7.0		usability upload servers-of-happiness unfinished-business	kevan
