 configured seals is still available (though Vault will remain in a degraded mode in

 When an operator configures an additional seal or removes a seal (one at a time)
 and restarts Vault, Vault will automatically detect that it needs to re-wrap
 CSPs and seal wrapped values, and will start the process.  Seal re-wrapping can
