-----------------------------------------------------------
After discussing a bit more with Jie, Joris, and BenM, we're going to change
the agent's {{\-\-work_dir}} flag to have no default value, but remain a
required field. This means that running the agent binary without specifying
{{\-\-work_dir}} will fail. While this may break some deployments, we think
this is acceptable since it's quite unadvisable to be running in production
with the default agent work directory; best to fail hard now and force users to
specify a suitable directory that is accessible on their system. I'll send an
email out to the dev/user lists announcing this plan.
