cman expected votes question

I removed from config expected_votes="3", but status show still Expected votes: 3 and Quorum: 3. Why?

if you have 3 nodes, you need at lease 2 votes to get quorum.

if you have 4 nodes, you need at least 3 votes to get quorum.

if you have 5 nodes, you need at least 3 votes to get quorum.

if you have 6 nodes, you need at least 4 votes to get quorum.

if you have 7 nodes, you need at least 4 votes to get quorum.

So, depending the number of nodes in a cluster, is not possible to change the needed votes to get quorum?

I want to change these values of needed votes for quorum and the number of votes for each node.
So, i'm asking me if can i change the votes of a node? For example, if i have a cluster of 5 nodes, by default, each node have only one vote, and the numbers of votes needed for quorum is 3... But if i change the numbers of votes of two nodes (that i called the big servers) to having 2 votes each (and let the other three nodes with one vote only), that give me a total of 7 votes, and i can change the expected votes to get quorum to 4. So, for quorum i only need the two "big servers", or one oh the big servers and two of the others...
is correct?
