consul leave is bad during upgrades because the leaving server will disconnect and think there is no leader and initiate a series of new elections, but cannot communicate with others. When it comes up, its term is much higher than the leader and the leader will detect this and step down. Having the leader change is bad when you are trying to guarantee that the leader is upgraded last.
