Easy now, Mircea!   

All of us in the distributed computing community know that we live in a
world of necessary compromises (i.e. Brewer's CAP theorem, etc.) re: limits
of service guarantees and capabilities.

Now, of course, I do expect a node to crash.  And I do know that such an
event will have consequences for my beloved pinnedKey set.

But, just as we make compromises because we *definitely* cannot
simultaneously provide CAP (BTW, Prof. Lynch in fact *proved* Brewer's CAP
conjecture) ... it does not mean that we should not 'go for it'.

The 'P' in CAP is for 'Partition healing' capability of a distributed
system.  If my node partition crashes, will just have to evolve a 'healing'
strategy.  I will be patient here.  I have to be.

So let's go for it!  Shall we?

:-)
