Better, OP could comment on the below JIRA ticket emphasizing the need for
fewer than 3 alternative and logically ambiguous ways to do the common
operation of replacing a seed node.

Especially because the options say nonsensical things like :

"
Add the replacement seed node's IP to all the node's seed lists.
You do not need to restart the nodes.
"

If you do not restart the nodes, they do not know the replacement node is a
seed. This act seemingly cannot have meaning until the future time at which
all nodes are restarted. As detailed in the ticket, I assert that no one
understands what it actually means to be a seed, and why seeds should or
should not be able to bootstrap.
