That sentence is in both https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka/site/083/design.html and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka/site/082/design.html near the end of "Unclean leader election: What if they all die?" section. Next one, "Availability and Durability Guarantees", mentions ability to disable unclean leader election, so likely just this one reference needs to be updated.
