Support for rolling upgrades (one node at a time) instead of a full-stop upgrade was added in rabbitmq 3.8, about six months before this article was published. So while a full-stop is no longer necessary, it was likely a restriction for the majority of the time the author was using rabbit.

I didn't it before 3.8. Read the docs. All of them--three times.
