You know, I thought about that and was afraid saying "new master
cluster" would be confusing because it isn't a master _yet_, but if you
feel it will help, and I considered it, let's add it. The problem is
that in the old instructions, at the point we were mentioning this, it
was the new master, which is why I evaluated removing it in the first
place. (Yeah, I am amazed I considered all these cases.)

Updated patch attached. Thanks.
