It is nice to hear from other operators that this matches their expectations. But yes, the current behavior seems to have risks that "forgetting" doesn't, and I don't understand what benefits (if any) it has. As a brief aside, this is Yet Another Reason why you probably don't ever want a Cassandra node to automatically start on boot, or restart. If you don't know its configuration, it could join a cluster, which might be Meaningfully Bad in some circumstances. =Rob
