Unless you have deep insight in the inner workings of DRBD
and their interactions, I'd strongly recommend to go find
some other fixmes.

That is much more complicated than just removing those lines and hope
for the best. Otherwise they would not be there (and not FIXME tag to
find them).

Maybe you just want to reverse-sort your grep for fixmes,
so that the bottom of the list gets some love, too.

Thanks,
	Lars
