I was referring to possible effects when problems arise. I meant that with an approach similar to the ServiceGuard's one, you can have for example a condition where both nodes reboot (such as mutual stonith) and if there is a problem with intra cluster communication that persists during the immediate reboot, both nodes would remain at the prompt asking for confirmation. So if you don't explicitly go on the console of one of them your "cluster services" remain down indefinitely. Instead, in rhcs, if for example the problem is resolved say after 5 minutes, probably there would be 2 or 3 mutual stoniths and at the 4th attempt (when problem solved) they would form the cluster again and give service...
