A lot of this goes without saying.  However, Linux-HA is the only available, 
portable Failover Management Software (FMS) available for POSIX compliant 
systems.  It's under active development and the 2.x branch has some game.

I'm not talking about changing any default behavior, I'm asking what the best 
strategy would be to put hooks in place to easily enable "compatibility" mode.

Adding new commands is easy with $extra_commands, but changing return codes 
requires some if[]'s in-tree.  An extra couple of cycles blown isn't that bad 
of a tradeoff to bring high availability (HA) / failover features to *BSD.
