this may be rational but the question is if the process from the point of the administration 
will change in RHEL (dropped cman support??), despite cman's internal use of corosync right now.
 
Even with the abstraction via pcs - the internals will change. This is 
so far import to get the mental model correctly - literally this means 
/etc/cluster/cluster.conf vs. /etc/corosync/corosync.conf or do i miss something?
