And whether or not these node names are fully-qualified or not is
actually not up to the user, but depends on the distro used. That was my
point. :)

It should be the other way round: If the CIB contains node names with a
domain (RHEL/CentOS), then the stonith device should also be configured
with FQDNs for host names. At which point appending `domainname` becomes
pointless. If conversely the CIB contains unqualified node names (other
platforms), then the stonith device should be configured to refer to
unqualified host names as well.

So the above snippet can probably be reduced to
gethosts)
  list_devices
  ;;

... and then it would be up to the user to configure the stonith device
to match the CIB.
