    Description

      Description

      The docs around majority write concern are relatively clear that only voting nodes are counted, but docs on majority read concern do not mention anything about whether non-voting nodes (and, I suppose, non-data-bearining nodes) can . Off the top of my head, the following should be clarified:

      Compare this to wording in e.g. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/write-concern/: "Requests acknowledgment that write operations have propagated to the majority (M) of data-bearing voting members."
