For debugging one has to understand the CIB anyway, so why learn
additional syntaxes? :) Most of our configuration changes are scripted
via a home-grown domain-specific CLI.  Using crmsh or pcs under the hood
instead of cibadmin and crm_resource would bring additional dependencies
and require additional knowledge (of these tools).

This allows changing templated resource parameters at a single place.
