No I'm not. You're using the term in two different ways in the same

I'm not sure I follow this one, but it's late ;-)
But, even then _from heartbeat's point of view_ it's a cluster - just a
really small one. And, it's not a larval stage. It's a full-fledged
cluster.
And, the idea of merging clusters is a useful one - not just for this
case. But, this is, of course, the most obvious case.
Well, OK. So a one-node "cluster" might start up even without
communication channels to other nodes, which is I think what this thread
refered to.
But, you _do_ bring up an excellent point and one I had hoped to avoid
;-) Because a "merge" (ie, first join ever) operation is, in a subtle
way, different from a re-join of a member which already was there once.
Namely we can't just supersede one CIB with the other, but would have to
merge them too.
Yes.
But, perhaps for this special case of no resources in the CIB, it's not
as hard to do.
