I think we should provide a good default if someone doesn't specify anything. So defaulting to RT is fine to me so we converge to what other HA software is doing. But I think we should keep the Nice and Scheduler clauses. Just in case anyone wants to do this fine grain tunning. So my proposal is: 1) Remove them from the examples configuration files. 2) Keep these toggles documented in manpage. 3) Provide this default if someone doesn't specify anything. So the idea is that we provide good defaults. BTW, an option I would really deprecate is the Checksum, a lot of experimentation was going on at the time I added this (more than 10 years ago), this should really go away since I don't see a usecase for this.
