I think for the sake of this implementation we should ignore the whitebox use case for now.  There are aspects of the whitebox use case that I'm just not sure about yet, and I don't want to hold you all up trying to define that. I don't mind re-approaching this container concept and expanding it to the whitebox use case later on building with what you have here.  I'm in favor of removing the "container-type" letting the blackbox use case be the default for now, and I'll go in and do our whitebox bits later.  It feels like we are at least headed in the right direction with all of this now.

A nagios "stop" action should always return success.  The nagio's agent doesn't even need a stop function, the lrmd can know to treat  a "stop" as a (no-op for stop) + (cancel all recurring actions).  In this case if the nagios agent doesn't stop successfully,  it is because of an lrmd failure which should result in a fencing action i'd imagine.

What happens if someone wants to clear the container's failcount? Do we need to add some logic to go in and clear all the child resource's failures as well to make this happen correctly?
