The node numbers are HIGHLY significant; they indicate the "shape" of the
network of replicas.

If you look at the internal tables, node numbers appear _everywhere_, and
pointedly can't be changed once set.

If you move a host with a Slony-I node to a new network address, fixing
that up is a mere "set path" away, but you can't renumber the nodes after
the fact.

I have a CVS archive on the go with changes to allow the nodes to be named
so that you could reference node names (and indeed _change_ those names),
but it's not ready yet...
