[Pacemaker] problem about move node from one cluster to another cluster

> how does this fit the release schedule?

The short answer is that it doesn't.
 
The community generally does a pretty good job, heartbeat2 was a dead end that was put out of its misery years ago[1] and openais 0.80 was something like 5 years old when pacemaker started supporting it.  Pacemaker 1.0 itself is almost 3 years old now iirc. 

But long term support will always be hole that enterprise vendors fill with products like sles, rhel and ubuntu LTS.

With limited resources, projects need to choose their battles.
We can't be everything to everyone, so we let the enterprise distress do what they do best while we concentrate on improving the core software.


[1] there were also unique circumstances that necessitated killing hb2 early

If so, at what interval (keeping in mind that you probably want the stable packages on your system)?
