I completely understand staying on an older version that works in your
use case -- but be aware that the people who can help you have moved on
to newer versions and won't be familiar with the differences.

What are the scores on the various constraints and stickiness? Pacemaker
will sum up all the scores relevant to each node and pick the node with
the highest score.

This might be the issue fixed in commit 96d6ecf, which was part of 1.1.12.

I'm not sure what your goal is. Do you want the cluster to ignore VMs
that shut down outside cluster control?
