Jeff,

Could you please expand a little?  Do you mean that adding new hosts can
lead to deleted data resurrection if cleanup isn't done prior to that?

I would only expect this to be a potential problem if one removes nodes,
since then range ownership can expand, but not with adding nodes, as then
ownership can only shrink.  Or am I missing something bigger?
