Glad to hear this, indeed :)

Ah, it's more me not being familiar with rather exotic uses cases and
I definitely include degenerate single-node-on-purpose case here.

FYI, I checked the code and it seams utterly useless to define an
empty failover domain and to refer to it from the resource group.
Based on its properties, just the logged warnings may vary.
Furthermore, enabling restricted property may prevent associated
groups to start at all.

Added a warning and corrected the conversion accordingly:

Just a quick suggestion for now if it helps:

pcs resource manage SERVICE-ctm_service-GROUP

or alternatively:

pcs resource meta SERVICE-ctm_service-GROUP is-managed=true

Will get back to you with answer for __independent_subtree later.
