voting inMemory nodes should refuse to join replica sets that have writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault set to true

      As per the docs, you must set writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault to false if you are running voting, but non-journaling, nodes in your replica set:
      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/replica-configuration/#rsconf.writeConcernMajorityJournalDefault
      If you do not do this, the effect will be that your majority writes may hang if a majority of nodes includes a non-journaling node.
      A worse effect is that if you also use --enableMajorityReadConcern, the commit level will never advance, and so the majority snapshot never advances. This can eventually fill up cache memory with write history.
