I may be over-interpreting the words you have
used, but what would happen if:
  - the controller/manager dies; what do the subset of
    nodes that have decided the controller has failed
    actually do? Would there be a conflict with the other
    subset of nodes?
  - ditto intermittent network connectivity (yes, I have
    seen that even in benign environmental conditions)
