   > One question I had was about de-registration (or lack thereof). How do we 
deal with one controller being offline? Do we just use its most recent 
registration?
   
   We just use the most recent registration. Like you said, it's possible that 
this is out of date. But there's no getting around that in a distributed system.
   
   More generally, we can't prevent people from bringing up nodes with old 
software. If you want to break your cluster by doing that, you can do it, and 
there's nothing we can do about it. We don't control the version of software 
deployed on your cluster.
   
   The safety interlock is designed for the case where the admin is being 
"reasonable"
