I don't quite understand this: Isn't the state of a resource in the CIB status
section anyway? If not, why not add it? So it would be readily available for
anyone (rules, constraints, etc.).

So the node health is more or less a "node score"? I don't understand the last
sentence. Maybe give an example?

Where can I find a description of current "CRM feature sets"?
