In a Pacemaker cluster, nothing needs to touch DRBD during the system
boot sequence. Nothing should, really. So the absence of any bootup
script in a DRBD package should hardly be a reason to zap it from the
distro.

I'm CC'ing the Fedora DRBD package maintainer so he's at least informed
of this thread, as I'm unsure if he follows the Pacemaker list on a
regular basis. Hi Major. :)

Cheers,
Florian
