Bootstrapping is a problem I've thought about quite a bit.. It's
possible to implement in a number of ways, and it's not clear what's the
better approach. But I see a cluster-wide configuration database as an
enabler for better bootstrapping rather than a hurdle. If a new node
doesn't need a local copy of the database but can access the database
from an existing node, it would be possible for the new node to
bootstrap itself into the cluster with nothing more than remote access
to that database, so a single port to open and a single authentication
mechanism - this could certainly be handled over SSH just like pcsd and
crmsh implements it today.

But yes, at some point there needs to be communication channel opened..
