It won't continue.  When I canceled the processes, it said something about
undoing the decommissioning.   However, when I just tried to restart the
DECOMMISSION NODE, it errors saying the node is already decommissioned?
Looking back in the logs, it says the decommission ended with "completion
state of SUCCESS" (wrong) eventhough I canceled it.  Sounds like a bug to
me.  Looks like I have to drag out the sledgehammer and delete it manually!
