When a node is quarantined, it will be automatically downed and removed from the cluster. If this happens at a time when other nodes are unreachable this can lead to a split-brain situation. Problem is that the downing provider is not consulted / aware of the issue and as such can't prevent the split-brain from happening.

I explained this in more detail in
https://discuss.lightbend.com/t/quarantine-breaks-cluster-abstraction/2141

and provided a detailed example in

As far as I understand, this issue is present in both 2.4 and 2.5
