[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossCache] - Re: Data gravitation cleanup process and stale nodes

That seems OK, since a member excluded from the view shouldn't be allowed to reappear and begin replicating writes to his old backup trees.

I'm with you on not making this configurable. :)  Seems like either it's something that works well and we just do it, or there's a problem with the idea and we shouldn't do it at all.  The only (end-user) reason I could see for not doing it would be if the presence of an empty node /a/b had some meaning to the application; by removing the node itself we change meaning.  But that seems pretty wacky.
