I don't have a particularly articulated concern, just a nagging feeling 
FOMO-k8s cause I never grasped the whole picture with it. That and 
expectation/need to articulate node updating process, may be tailoring 
them to particulars of my set of boxes -- all these prompt to look at k8s.
But, with recent acknowledgement of trippy ui in k8s docs, I am able to 
form an overall picture, and swarm feels better :| .

Nonetheless, let me air scenarios of interest.

Update of node, it goes down then up, may be in a day, and returning all 
running containers to their original places. How can this be done? In a 
swarm? In k8s?
