Hi,

Good design -- couple of things...

* All in all, this seems like a lot of patch for a very tiny problem or
set of problems in a very narrow use case (renaming quorum device).

* return is implied in functions returning void (no big deal; stylistic
stuff)

* Code does not match comments; 'oldvotes != votes' is not a check
for decrease, and recalculate_quorum(1, 0) allows both increases and
decreases to votes.  Is the comment wrong or the code?  (I think the
comment is wrong...)

* Is this a debug or an error message?  An error message with DEBUG: in
it is confusing; can we have one or the other?
