The reason why I did remove the quorum check is because i don't believe it 
belongs there. Note that this also removes the guarantee that the 
configuration you are reading is from a quorated cluster.

It is an important bit that should not be understimated.

In order to make sure of what you are reading, you want to have a positive 
answer from cman_is_quorate and then ccs_connect/get.

The good side is that ccs_connect now connects to cman/aisexec objdb. It 
virtually removes the problem of thinking in terms of connecting to 2 
different daemons.
