So now the client graph is being dynamically modified, in ways that
make it un-derivable from the volume configuration (because they're
based in part on user activity since then)?  What happens if a normal
graph switch (e.g. due to add-brick) happens?  I'll need to think some
more about what this architectural change really means.
