Hi!

I agree that one shouldn't have to do it, but I've seen cases (two node cluster 
with quorum-policy=ignore) where one node was down while the "cluster" wanted 
to fence both nodes. So when the other node goes up, nodes will shoot each 
other.
My expectation was that the "cluster" would see that the other node is down and 
hasn't to be shot. Likewise it looks stupid if the remaining node insists of 
being shot, but refuses to shoot itself.

So in practice you'll have to interfere more often that you would wish.

Strange enough that many consultants still recommend two-node clusters. My 
guess is they never tried a bigger one... ;-)
