Neither do I. That was exactly my precondition :)
Being that the RA absence is dealt with ok (i.e. no need to
install the RA to enable pacemaker to do what it needs) then I feel
it's ok anyway.

I've seen many times arguments of the kind "if the admin does this,
then it breaks". I buy no such argument. I'm against systems playing
smarter than admins.
