#### Fallback to proxy mode with discovery service
If you bootstrap a etcd cluster using [discovery service][discovery-service] with more than the expected number of etcd members, the extra etcd processes will fall back to being `readwrite` proxies by default. They will forward the requests to the cluster as described above. For example, if you create a discovery url with `size=5`, and start ten etcd processes using that same discovery url, the result will be a cluster with five etcd members and five proxies. Note that this behaviour can be disabled with the `proxy-fallback` flag.

### Promote a proxy to a member of etcd cluster

A Proxy is not part of the core etcd cluster. A proxy will not promote itself to an etcd member automtically in any case.

Can we use the word consensus in here somewhere? "subset of the cluster participating in consensus" or similar.

@robszumski All fixed. Can you take another look.

@robszumski @yichengq For the systemd drop-in, I have no strong opinion. I feel people should be able to figure it out though. If @robszumski really want that I will add it again. If @yichengq strongly disagrees on that, I think you guys can figure it out.
