The "internal" ipmilan is locked in memory whereas external/ipmi
(or any external plugin for that matter) is a script. In this
case it's python, so at the time of the stonith reset action,
python has to be loaded from the disk. In case of severe memory
pressure, it may happen that the stonith action gets delayed,
theoretically indefinitely. Though I doubt that that is likely to
happen.

Short answer: You can use either.

NB: ipmilan has been rescued from rot about a year ago, so don't
try it with an earlier packages.

Thanks,

Dejan
