From my perspective, the ocf version looked dead and I had several
people saying this was the right thing to do with nobody saying
otherwise, both here on list and in some conversations I had with
people. With the release approaching, it was kind of late to do it
equally, it did appear to be the right thing to switch to so I got on
and tested and then merged it.

I don't consider things "set in stone", I think we can build upon this
incrementally.
