So it sounds like the next stable release of openais will be in the new form of corosync + openais? Will Fedora 9 have whitetank or the new corosync+openais release? We definately need to do a release or two of cluster-2.y.z from STABLE2 based on openais whitetank. Then, once a stable release of corosync+openais exists, I see sense in either: 1. switching STABLE2 from whitetank to the corosync+openais release 2. supporting both whitetank and corosync in STABLE2 somehow, perhaps dropping whitetank support after a while 1 would make most sense if F9 has corosync, 2 would make most sense if F9 has whitetank.
