I just meant that in an ideal world, Pacemaker would prefer that node2
didn't find out that (from node1's PoV) it was dropped from the
membership.
Perhaps thats already the case?

The history of events is less important to us than getting the new
membership list (ie. "node1 + node2" in your example) ASAP.
