I can only speak for the dlm part of that.  Between different
distributions, I'd call it luck :)  Within the context of one distribution
things shouldn't break if the distribution is doing it's job.  Upstream,
with no distribution context, I'm certainly aware of when compatibility
breaks between dlm_controld and corosync and between different
dlm_controld versions on nodes.  I try to avoid it, but there are
unpredictable reasons that it can break.
