Hi Marc,
I understand what you are saying and in an ideal world, I would tend to 
agree with you, but this is not an ideal world and people are trying to 
provision member servers. Baring this in mind, I thought it was a good 
idea to add the note to the '--server-role' parameter. It isn't a lot, 
only a couple of sentences and if it stops one person trying to 
provision a member server, then I think that it is worth it.
