You're right, it's not. It explains voting restrictions when
configuring qdisk, but... not *why*... e.g.:
* Cluster node votes should be more or less equal.
...
* The total number of votes assigned to the quorum device should be
equal to or greater than the total number of node-votes in the
cluster. While it is possible to assign only one (or a few) votes
to the quorum device, the effects of doing so have not been
explored.
CMAN has no knowledge of qdisk's internal "score" information nor its
heuristics, or even how it works. I should make a note of that.
