Good point Cedric!! 
The only thing is that, I would prefer to say "bricks" instead of "nodes" in 
your statement. 

"starting with 4 bricks (3+1) can only evolve by adding 4 bricks (3+1)"

Also keep in mind that dispersed cluster can only be expanded by the number of 
initial nodes, eg starting with 4 nodes 3+1 can only evolve by adding 4 nodes 
3+1, you cannot change the default policy 3+1 to 4+1. So the granularity of the 
evolution of the cluster is fixed at the beginning.
