Changing the explain output doesn't sound so bad to me.

The users' problem is that the parameter setting ought to match the 
EXPLAIN output.

The developers' problem is that the EXPLAIN output actually corresponds 
to leader + (N-1) workers internally.

I think we can hope that developers are going to be less confused about 
that than users.
