Because we end up with two almost similar and very close CLI tools for
managing a cluster, and this confuses the hell out of users? I'm still
not convinced on the benefit of this step to *users*.
Of course, OSS is all about the freedom to reinvent the wheel. But it
doesn't mean it is always a good idea. More choice is not *always* good;
it always comes at a cost. And here, I'm not convinced that it is a
worthwhile trade-off.
Because the last thing that the HA community on Linux needs is more
division just after we have achieved some convergence finally.
And just as naturally I can't stop anyone from working and coding
and supporting whatever they like, I can naturally voice my disagreement
;-)
