Mostly during startup.
Since corosync only knows nodeids, that is all we know about our peers
until they send us a message (which contains their name).  So if we
need to send them a message before we hear from it, then we have no
way to how to address it.  Likewise, if one suffers a failure we have
no idea who to shoot.

I will probably amend that patch to drop everything after the first '.'
Does that sound like a good idea to you?
