I guess we could add many copyright lines then... Maybe we should, I
don't know.

Would you mind updating the comment rather than removing it?

Hm, so if you want to add a new writer to an existing read-only node,
this is the error message that you would get?

Now that we can't distinguish both cases any more, should we try to
rephrase it so that it makes sense for both directions? Like "Read-only
block node <node-name> cannot support read-write users"?


Sorry for it taking so long, but I've now finally looked at all patches
in this series. Please feel free to send v3 when you're ready.
