Regarding nopreempt and the recent related patches

Hello everyone,

I'm an OpenStack Neutron dev working on a high availability solution
for virtual routers which uses keepalived internally. These two patches
that were merged for 1.2.14:

e18370cb165d21db954c08ddbce1b39d97858012
13693a2d1b834c749394ef0bdee6afe9eb1fad2d

Changed the behavior of nopreempt and I'm seeing a severe regression.
Short story: Why does keepalived go to standby when it receives a message
with a lower priority?

Long story:
I opened a RHBZ (I probably should have sent a message here first):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202584

That has a lot more context and information, including the keepalived.conf
we spit out in Neutron code. It also has exerts from syslog that demonstrate
the issue. If any more context or information is needed please let me know.
I'm also available as 'amuller' on Freenode (keepalived channel as well as
openstack-neutron).

Thank you,
Assaf Muller, Cloud Networking Engineer
