At least a "see `man 5 corosync.conf` for details might be nice, adding some
extra hints here, like how it's roughly used and special values, could be
indeed nice too; some of that might be better off in the docs or the
verbose_descriptions property though.
But I'm not so sure about the actual value to the user of restricting this
here? I mean, if we ever would expose this in the UI in some advanced section
then one could show clear hints for such special/odd values and their potential
implications, for the CLI that's mostly the job of the docs and maybe an extra
informal "log" print, but forcing a user editing the corosync.conf manually in
case they want to try this, whyever that might be, seems to rather worsen UX not
improve it.
