It's not really pacemaker that is affected, but corosync's totem
protocol implementation. That should be discussed on the corosync
mailing list; robustness improvements are always welcome.

It would be helpful if we added a "fail-fast" mode that checked the
node's local health - starting with free disk space (which many parts of
the stack have a problem with too), scheduling latency, etc, and then
stopped tickling the watchdog.

Since dealing with byzantine failure modes is such a pain where the sun
doesn't shine, transforming them into "clean" node failures is a good
idea.

There are some daemons which do some of this (sbd included), but none of
them integrates them all, and neither do we make that a "mandatory
recommendation".
