A node functions the same whether it is another node's seed or not. In other words, all of the nodes in a cluster are

Hi, Just a quick question on seed nodes and auto bootstrap. Am I correct in that a seed node won't be able to AutoBootstrap? And if so, will a seed node newly added to an existing cluster then not take long time before it actually starts getting any work to it? I mean, if it doesn't start with
