>> @Ishii-san - I have read your email from the other day, and your subsequent email. I like the approach you are taking here, and very much support this new feature. I think from an end user perspective, having this functionality on the pcp_promote_node command makes a lot more sense than on pcp_detach_node - so I think the “new” way is much better. Thank you very much for your work on this!

You are welcome!

So this time I employ the idea to use "switchover" option, rather
"--really-promote" in my new patch. Unfortunately for the short option
name, we cannot use "-s" since it has been already used for other
purpose and I decided to use "-o".

Again, comments and suggestions are welcome!

Best regards,
