Amen to that. The mere existence of IPaddr2 is a testament to that -
IPaddr2 is the way how IP addresses on Linux should be handled _always_
(unless we still have 2.2 kernel users around, which I think we
shouldn't strive too hard to support).
I'm all for janitoring it up. Previously, certain aspects have kept me
away from it, but I think we now should consider that for 2.0.8.
Janitorial work is also a great way to get started on the project, if
one knows coding in general... Everyone new, feel free to get your hands
dirty ;-)

Nod, that too.
_However_, we ought to have a small test scripts for the RAs anyway. So,
maybe we could use this opportunity to write those too - then we can be
more confident that we didn't introduce regressions.
Andrew's ocf test script is a step in that direction, but we need to try
and add this to a harness-like thingy. At least IPaddr, Filesystem but
als whatever else we find installed should be put through these
motions.
Sincerely,
Lars
