Is there any intention of improving that? It's awfully drastic to go 
back to bare iron, especially since this isn't like a VM - reloading a 
machine can be extremely onerous. (To the point that I've got a brand 
new machine sitting idle for another month until I go to the datacenter 
500KM away to reload the OS.)

As per the OP's other reply, could speficially nuking things in 
/etc/cluster, /var/lib/cluster, /etc/ssh/ (and so on) not revert 
sufficiently to be added to a new/different cluster? At least under a 
different identifier?

If one can't/doesn't physically disconnect the deleted node from a 
cluster, does it re-contaminate other nodes? Could this damage the whole 
cluster?
