Why store the others, if they're not usable, then?  IMHO it just
introduces a risk of their being accidentally misused.

Speaking of Cuttlefish, I don't think my statement that I'd run into
this issue in Cuttlefish was correct: I don't see similar code to the
one I patched there, and indeed, (accidentally) starting a Cuttlefish
mds on an otherwise Dumpling cluster enabled recovery to complete where
Dumpling's mds wouldn't.  So, no backporting for this patch of mine, I
think.
