Yeah... but "user strategies" are always annoying, in favor of the
tool just Doing The Right Thing.

I suspect we can have our v2 http protocol do the right operation.
Might need some FS changes, though: we'd need to copy a node, but not
leave copy information. For http v1, we'd probably just have to send
it multiple times like today.
