For the most part, each component is written to be independent of other
components' versions.

The big exception is pcs, which is closely tied to both corosync and
pacemaker versions.

The pcs 0.9 series is compatible with corosync 2 and pacemaker 1.1,
while the pcs 0.10 series is compatible with the new kronosnet project,
corosync 3, and pacemaker 2.0. pcs may work "most of the time" with
other versions, but full compatibility requires that line-up.

I'd say your choices from easiest to hardest are:

* Stick with what you have. If a pcs command works, you're fine. If a
pcs command fails, figure out how to do the same thing with direct
editing of corosync.conf and the pacemaker CLI tools.

* Switch to the pacemaker 1.1 series (either distro-provided or your
own build), and keep everything else as you have it. You don't lose
much, since most bug fixes and some features from 2.0 have been
backported to 1.1. This will likely continue for at least the next year
or two, though at some point the frequency of backports will decline.
This would buy you enough time for the distros to catch up to the newer
versions of everything.

* Build kronosnet, corosync 3, and pcs 0.10 yourself. This would put
you on the "way of the future" but obviously is more maintenance for
you when it comes to updates, and you lose the early release of
backported bugfixes that distro packages include.
