Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-5836:
--------------------------------------------

People used to recommend setting auto bootstrap false to make sure that you 
didn’t end up with a node owning 100% of the ring. Since we have changed NTS 
such that you can’t set the new DC name in until after there are nodes in that 
DC this is no longer something someone could easily do by going in the “wrong” 
order and altering keyspaces first.

> Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention

> The current logic doesn't allow a seed node to be bootstrapped.  If a user 
> wants to bootstrap a node configured as a seed (for example to replace a seed 
> node via replace_token), they first need to remove the node's own IP from the 
> seed list, and then start the bootstrap process.  This seems like an 
> unnecessary step since a node never uses itself as a seed.
> I think it would be a better experience if the logic was changed to allow a 
> seed node to bootstrap without manual intervention when there are other seed 
> nodes up in a ring.
