"never" is a strong term. The only guarantee is to use priority 0 which
means it won't participate. Otherwise, you have a non-preemptory election
(on hub/spoke this is generally irrelevant, but you COULD have a situation
you don't want).

One side priority 255 just means that if there IS an election where
everyone's already awake, then the 255 will win. 0 on the spoke means
there's no contest.

Be aware of always/never things!

In IEWB_it says to ensure that X is the ospf DR and YZ never becomes DR -
the book says to make YZ have a priority of 0 why cant X be a priority 255
