It basically is. DRBD 0.8 and cmirror + gnbd/iscsi provide similar
solutions to the same problem, and are either close to or fully
production-ready.

The disabled fence agents are only really disabled probably because
historically, we've kept the CVS pool as Red-Hat-centric as possible.
That is, we disable things we don't support. From a community
perspective, several agents here should still built per-default.
baytech - This is specific to an old Bay Technologies switch IIRC; I do
not think this is even made anymore. Probably safe to nuke.
cpint - I don't know what this is.
ibmblade - I don't know what this is.
primergy - I don't know what this is.
rackswitch - I don't know what this is.
rib - Old pre-iLO fencing agent. I don't know if it's safe to remove or
not; I assume it's superceded by iLO, so it might be safe to remove.
rps10 - 2-node clusters only - very useful; not network-based power
switch. Actually, I don't know why this isn't enabled *now*; it should
be.
xcat - I don't know what this is.
xen - kind of superceded by fence_xvm I think - may be safe to remove;
Patrick would know.
zvm - Don't nuke this; z/i/p series support will probably require this.
vmware - gsx/esx specific fencing agent. Red Hat doesn't currently ship
this agent, but it's community developed, and people use it IIRC.
