That sounds racy.  I am changing a parameter which has the potential to
affect the stickiness of all resources for a (hopefully brief) period of
time.  If there is some other fail{ure,over} transaction in play while I
do this I might adversely affect my policy of no-automatic-failback
mightn't I?

Since this suggestion is also non-atomic, meaning I set a contraint,
wait for the result of the change in allocation due to that setting and
then "undo" it when the allocation change has completed, wouldn't I just
be better to use "crm resource migrate FOO" and then monitor for the
reallocation and then remove the "cli-standby-FOO" constraint when it
has?  Wouldn't this effect your suggestion in the same non-atomic manner
but be sure to only affect the one resource I am trying to fail back?

Cheers,
b.
