No, it does not make sense.
I add a new server with some bricks. I have to replace the existing
one with the newer ones.
Now, If I try to re-add the "replaced" bricks, is the same like adding
directly the new bricks.

If I can't add a bricks from a new single server to a replica3, why
can I add re-add bricks from an older single server ? That's the same.
