Was there not a time where corosync was a subset of OpenAIS? Namely,
openais support for active/active and passive/active? I might have my

@#linux-cluster and #linux-ha: Will do.

Nope. Until RHEL 5, openais was the communication layer of the cluster.
However, the full AIS API was deemed "overkill" for what HA clustering
needed, so corosync was created for RHEL 6 as a stripped-down, HA
focused version of openais. In turn, openais was made a corosync plugin
for those who actually want the full AIS API.
The concepts of "Active/Active", "Active/Passive", etc. is not a
membership or cluster communication layer question. Those concepts come
from the resource manager (rgmanager or pacemaker). More to the point,
it's a per-resource question. You can have a pacemaker cluster where
some services are Active/Active (ie: a GFS2 partition) while at the same
time having an Active/Passive resouce (ie: a VM).
