I would even think this is more efficient. I'm not sure how the CIB is transmitted between nodes, but I think it easiest to just set a single key when you want to update something like a resource's last-rc-change value.

Does this mean you had something working, even just partially? If so, do
you still have that code around?
I might be interested in taking a look at this, and having a starting
point would be helpful.
