👋🏼 This doc currently says ... (referring to cluster.initial_master_nodes).

After the cluster has formed, this setting is no longer required.

This should instead push users that this setting ONLY makes sense during bootstrap and should be removed after.

I left a suggestion.

When you start a master-eligible node, you can provide this setting on the
command line or in the `elasticsearch.yml` file. After the cluster has formed,
this setting is no longer required. It should not be set for master-ineligible
this setting should no longer be used. It should not be set for master-ineligible

I think that's still weaker than it could be. How about making it a command to the user, like this?

Suggested change
this setting should no longer be used. It should not be set for master-ineligible
remove this setting from the configuration. It should not be set for master-ineligible
