Brandon Williams reopened CASSANDRA-1108:
-----------------------------------------
Turns out this isn't good enough. We've shutdown the Gossiper's timer on node
A, but node B will call gossipToUnreachableEndpoints, choose A, and A will
still reply.
> ability to forcibly mark machines failed

> For when a node is failing but not yet so badly that it can't participate in
> gossip (e.g. hard disk failing but not dead yet) we should give operators the
> power to forcibly mark a node as dead.
> I think we'd need to add an extra flag in gossip to say "this deadness is
> operator-imposed" or the next heartbeat will flip it back to live.
