Not really :-) What's the difference between: "This will remove the current allocation from the node. Any subsequent allocation will rebuild the node from scratch, causing any data to be lost." and "This will remove all records of the node from the Crowbar / Chef database. It will be rediscovered if it reboots." In both cases, the node will be rebuilt from scratch next time it gets allocated. Or does deallocate mean "if I'm reallocated, I will keep the exact same roles as I had before", in which case this means "temporarily disable".
