+/* This quorum hack is only here until we transition to some more rational
+ * approach that is driven from userspace.  Honest.  No foolin'.
+ *
+ * Imagine two nodes lose network connectivity to each other but they're still
+ * up and operating in every other way.  Presumably a network timeout indicates
+ * that a node is broken and should be recovered.  They can't both recover each
+ * other and both carry on without serialising their access to the file system.
+ * They need to decide who is authoritative.  Now extend that problem to
+ * arbitrary groups of nodes losing connectivity between each other.
+ *
+ * So we declare that a node which has given up on connecting to a majority
+ * of nodes who are still heartbeating will fence itself.
+ *
+ * There are huge opportunities for races here.  After we give up on a node's
+ * connection we need to wait long enough to give heartbeat an opportunity
+ * to declare the node as truly dead.  We also need to be careful with the
+ * race between when we see a node start heartbeating and when we connect
+ * to it.
+ *
+ * So nodes that are in this transtion put a hold on the quorum decision
+ * with a counter.  As they fall out of this transition they drop the count
+ * and if they're the last, they fire off the decision.
