I think the point of the replace operation was to swap a quorum child
with a new drive.  It sounds like this patch will break that use case?

The idea was that a failed child needs to be replaced.  The user adds a
new -drive and then uses the mirror+replace to include it into the
quorum.  I think the new child is not be part of the quorum BDS graph
until replacement occurs.
