True, but there is another use-case where you install it on an existing
cluster to get a web interface. In this case you don't want it to touch
existing setup by default.

Not sure how you got this because installing pcs all of the following
get installed:

  pcs -> pacemaker -> corosync

I would argue that pcs is functional as all three daemons are running:

  * corosync
  * pacemaker
  * pcsd

What is not functional is the cluster as a whole, but this will always
require some manual configuration as it spans more than one host and
we cannot handle that in packaging.

In your case you would need to run something like:

  pcs cluster destroy
  pcs cluster auth node1 node2
  pcs cluster setup --start --name cluster node1 node2
  pcs resource create ...
