That's probably somewhat inaccurate - in this case it's more about consistency 
- we only ack updates once they are on every replica. So it's not a lost 
updates issue, but a consistency issue.

The lost updates part is more like when you stop the cluster, than you start an 
old shard or something before starting more recent shards - you don't want that 
thing to become the leader because the other shards were not up yet.
