Not exactly.
You can still create a location constraint that prevents all instances
of the clone from running on that node (but allow it to remain active
elsewhere).

Anything that has two mode of operation might want to make use of
stateful clones (aka. master/slave resources).
Pacemaker is deliberately ignorant of what the two states mean to the
resource, simply implement demote() and promote() to do whatever
relevant for your service.
