Well, parts of cluster suite will be unmaintained. I doubt support for 
distributed lock manager or gfs2 will be dropped (and those are only 
things we need). Stuff that will go away are cman, rgmanager, etc...

I would really like to see new stack in main. I've spent last two-three 
weeks testing it, adopting other packages and I'd rather use new stack 
than any version of cman (RHCS).

To be clear, I do have strong feelings about this.
