On the flip side, the orderly shutdown sounds like a good
idea especially on the client side if it means that sending
a release keep things more tidy like minimizing stale DDNS
records.  One could argue that if the change benefits the
majority, it may be more suitable to have an option for
the minority to opt out.  We're not using failover so these
changes have been transparent to us.
