That is not how quorum works. It just limits the decision-making to the
quorate subset of the cluster.
Still the unknown nodes are not sure to be down.
That is why I suggested to have quorum-based watchdog-fencing with sbd.
That would assure that within a certain time all nodes of the
non-quorate part
of the cluster are down.
