Critical Description
I've seen this twice now. Need to work on a test.
When some issues hit all the replicas at once, you can end up in a situation where the rightful leader was put or put itself into LIR. Even on restart, this rightful leader won't take leadership and you have to manually clear the LIR nodes.
It seems that if all the replicas participate in election on startup, LIR should just be cleared.
