let's talk about use cases. As an application developer building
something cool on top of Infinispan, what's the point in receiving an
event about new nodes being joined, if they're not ready to be used?
I'd rather have you notify me when new nodes joined and I can actually
start using them; the rest is low-level detail that an application
shouldn't worry about - I think - but I'm ready to take it back if you
find an example for which that's not true.
