Wouldn't that have unintended consequences ? So far
rb tree nodes are allocated even if a node not online;
the above would change that. Are you saying it is
unnecessary to initialize rb tree nodes if the node
is not online ?

Not that I have any idea what is correct, it just seems odd
that the existing code would do all this allocation if it is not
necessary.
