Sure, but as I mentioned, if cman doesn't wait for quorum, then clvmd,
rgmanager or gfs mount will... and those don't time out and sometimes can't be
cancelled, whereas cman_tool wait -q can be.

The no wait option is good, it could make sense in some cases, like when no
other init scripts follow cman that depend on quorum.
