I agree, it would be even better if we could drop the whole cluster-glue
package but that is probably not possible right now. One other thing to
consider is if some of these parts are used by the old heartbeat package
and if we want to drop that one too.

Also I don't consider the packages to be mine but rather team owned so
you can also start modifying the parts you need to proceed :)
