IIRC Daniel took that nomenclature from pacemaker, albeit I mentioned
that I really would not use that complex (!) project as example to
follow, the PVE HA manager exists explicitly due to that being rather
confusing and hard to configure for simple(r) use cases.

Anyhow, the names can be changed rather easily, and the input of you
two certainly puts some additional weight for the "affinity" and
"anti-affinity" terminology, so thanks for chiming in.
