're-federate' with the hyphen is a a very dubious word; without the hyphen and interpreteted as a verb it presumably means to reconstitute a quondam federation that is/was in dissolution.
In an IBM SCD it is a feel-good noise word that does not denote anything specific and makes no specific commitments. Its use at all does suggest that the existence of a problem is being acknowledged.
