That was implemented mainly to allow drbd (among other replicated 
datastores) to be started as a secondary on a node with yellow 
attributes. That attributes come from outside of pacemaker and actually 
may have any meaning one may imagine. In our case we utilized new alerts 
feature to manage specific yellow attributes if resources repeatedly 
fail and recover, something similar to a flapping detection in nagios. 
So all services go away from a node with the worst health score, making 
another node "active" one. But we still wanted to have secondary data 
replica online and in sync.
The first attempt was to set positive "base" health attribute from a 
resource agent, but then we realized that resource won't start (rather 
expected, like every other resource) after node with some yellow 
attributes was brought back from the standby mode.
So the decision was made to submit a 5-line patch for pacemaker ;)
