Firstly, I am trying to be consistent in neglect of old messages. I
just pretend that they do not exist. Despite their type and purpose.
Secondly, if we know a bigger incarnation of the member, then we can
be sure, that after this stray ping we have already had some interaction
with that member, and it is not necessary to garbage the network with
that apparently excessive ACK.
I added a comment with the things I said above.

It is not about successful ping/ack, but rather for a case
when you don't know UUID. This method allows you to discover
UUID knowing only URI.

Thanks, the fixes are applied. Partially though. For example,
in one place you changed 'the SWIM paper' to 'SWIM paper'. But
there are no the single SWIM paper in the world. And I used 'the'
to emphasize one concrete SWIM paper among many. Besides, you
left other 'the SWIM paper' as is.
Also, I removed empty lines from swim_update_member_inc_status.
We do not use the empty lines for such multi-line conditions.
In addition, fixed some places out of 66 border.

Discussed verbally. Pinning is necessary when members addition and
removal is managed by user and its external systems, while SWIM is
used for failure detection only. We decided to enclose no_acks_to_gc
and provide a user with pinning API only. But there is a problem that
when a new member is added implicitly, via anti-entropy, for example,
then it is not pinned. A user would need to track every new member
and pin it manually. So for that case we decided to introduce a flag
'auto_pin'. With that flag set every new member is pinned automatically.
But once I started implementation of thar idea, I faced with a dubious
moment - what to do with existing members when auto_pin = true? And do
we need point pinning now? I decided, that
- we can postpone point pinning until a specific request for that;
- instead of auto_pin it is better to add an explicit GC mode, because
in a nutshell auto-pin is actually a GC turned off. Lets call a spade
a spade.
With that simplifications I managed to make the incremental diff quite
small and simple for that comment. See below:
