Conflicts when joining multiple clusters

Can a single ipfs node/daemon be controlled by multiple cluster peers? It is mentioned on https://collab.ipfscluster.io/ that we can “Follow as many collaborative clusters as you want, the different follower peers will run in parallel”. What will happen when there’s a conflict? For instance, one cluster peer tells you to unpin a file, the other tells you to pin it.

Also, is it possible for both a host for a collaborative cluster and a follower for another collaborative cluster to talk to the same IPFS node ?

The CID will be unpinned first. The other cluster will realize that the CID that should be pinned was unpinned and re-pin it again. The first cluster will not do anything else since that CID is not its problem anymore.

Yes, why not.
