Hi,

I think a good solution is taking shape here.  My thoughts:

1. Currently pacemaker only Recommends fence-agents, so users disabling
   Recommends must have installed it manually (unless disabled it later).

2. Using pacemaker without fencing is possible but unsupported, so
   tightening this dependency is reasonable given a singular alternative.

3. Users creating their own fence agent packages should depend on
   fence-agents-common, or install it manually for plain scripts.

4. The xserver-xorg-video-* setup is a nice and well-known solution, if
   all stakeholders support this setup, I'd go with it.

6. I'd avoid having both fence-agents and fence-agents-all, or
   fence-agent and fence-agents (for name similarity).  In the end
   pacemaker should contain something like this, I guess:

   Depends: fence-agents-all | fence-agent

   where fence-agents-all would Depend on all agents (possibly only
   Recommending some esoteric big ones), and all agent packages would
   Provide fence-agents.

Would this handle all concerns?  Or should pacemaker stay with only
Recommending the agents?

Thanks,
Feri.
