 isolates all remaining old nodes from the cluster, you must take the
 old nodes offline and upgrade them to enable them to join the cluster.
 
+Similarly, if you run a testing/development environment with only one master
+node, the master node should be upgraded last. Restarting a single master node
+forces the cluster to be reformed. The new cluster will initially only have the
+upgraded master node and will thus reject the older nodes when they re-join the
+cluster. Nodes that have already been upgraded will successfully re-join the 
+upgraded master.
