I was just looking at bug 1576, with a view both to completing it, and
fixing a problem the first part created for OpenBSD.

I was about to abstract a small amount of code from "lib/stonith/expect.c"
and put it, in revised form, into "clplumbing".

But... I then spotted a comment at line 83:
   "This code copied from clplumbing/[...] to avoid
    making STONITH depend on clplumbing."

My proposed work would introduce just such a dependency which (apparently)
would be poor/bad.

Could someone give me a little background on why such a dependency would
be undesirable?  (I'm happy to accept that it is, I'd just like to
understand a littel more about why it is...)
