Haven't really checked in detail what - apart from the obvious -
has changed since https://github.com/ClusterLabs/sbd
was forked from https://github.com/l-mb/sbd but sbd-pacemaker.c
with the cib-connection-code is there as well - whatever that
means ...

But of course if you have a block-device the info gotten via
that channel can of course replace health-info gotten via cib.
Probably a question how you configure it ...
