Our customer did not understand why a fail count is only raised if
the resource was running and and failed and not also when it failed 
to start. 

The worst impact on the fail-start is that this state is not shown in 
crm_monitor. So if we have a resource group and one of those
resource failed to start they have to manually go through all
resources with crm_resource -C (there is no chance that someone
who is not used to the cluster environment to explain the output 
of ptest or crm_mon -VVVVVVV...).
