213	good handling of small numbers of servers, or strange choice of servers	zooko		"Suppose you try to upload something when you are on an airplane and you are
completely disconnected from all of your servers other than the one that you
yourself are running.

option 1. fail

option 2. silently upload all M shares to yourself

option 3. be transparent about this -- have output showing the user what is
happening and a knob the user can use to control to what degree you can rely
on yourself alone to store things

option 4. have a ""rebalancing"" operation in which data which is stored on a
""skewed"" set of servers (such as too few servers, or on servers which are
less well places on the unit circle) gets moved to a more appropriate set

option 5. be transparent about that, too
