When multiple nodes leaving at the same time, the nodes inside the
smaller part are shut down.
How do you know you're in the smaller part ? How do you know there *are*
partitions anyway ? For example, if we have view V1={A,B,C,D}, and A and
B get a view V2={A,B} and C and D get V2={C,D}, what are you going to do ?
A and B could think that C and D just crashed, and vice versa.
