For me that is just convenient - why not?.

I think about porting this to LVM API as well, and use it in libvirt.

That all was already "almost" supported by clvmd. I only pass node id
from command line to an existing clvm header (and fix some related
functions).

All cluster/dlm staff is in corosync clvmd module - so both clvmd and
tools are cluster-stack-agnostic. May be the same is possible for both
cman and openais modules - I do not know because I do not use them and
do not plan to. You know they both are almost dead, and only
corosync/dlm actually remains.

And... Every cluster has nodes. Clustered LVM VG assumes you have
cluster. Why not be cluster-aware in tools then?
