I believe you're operating on the assumption that clone instances are
somehow tied to particular nodes, which they are not.

Pacemaker has no crystal ball. It has no way of knowing what node the
instance is going to be started on next.

You could have an 8-node cluster and a clone limited to two instances
(with meta clone-max=2). Then you'd have instance IDs 0 and 1, and only
one instance running (for whatever reason), and the currently stopped
instance would next run on one of 7 different nodes. Why should
Pacemaker display all 7 node names?

Hope this clears things up.

Cheers,
Florian
