It should be as complete as any other page in the install guide. The only caveats are:
* It should come with a huge unmissable disclaimer at the top that Data Manager is still being tested.
* There are only two cases where we think it might be safe:
** All your Keepstores are backed by their own POSIX filesystem(s)
** All your Keepstores are backed by shared object storage, one of which has a special service_type, and Data Manager talks to that one alone through its corresponding service_type switch
* It should not be linked from the TOC. Enough people want it that we want a single reference to give to interested deployers, but we don't want to generally advertise it.
Functional requirements:
* Document how to do a dry run/log-only run first, then how to switch that to actually deleting blocks once you're satisfied with the result.
This is how the datamanager token is generated:
