Installing or updating a plugin vRO 7.3 cluster any special considerations?

We've got a clustered pair of vRA appliances and we use the embedded vRO clustered as well on these appliances in our vRA prod environment.  My past experience with clustered vRO is that you had to be carefull when modifying the plugin configuration.  It required taking all but one node offline, install/upgrade, shutdown, move on to next node etc.  In vRO 7.3 is this still required or will control center do this all cleanly for me without needing to manually shutdown services?  I see no documentation related to this so I am assuming that is the case.

Thanks!

I haven't tested it, but I think that if you ensure the Control Center is running on all vRO nodes, it will take care of automatic distribution and deployment of the plug-in among all nodes.

OK... I'll be sure to snapshot the appliances before making any changes.  I'm hoping the fact there is zero documentation on this means it should be handled by the cluster for present day releases.
