I missed removing it from the ha.cf file.  I think it has now been
removed in the CVS version.

It had a few bugs in it that sometimes affected normal usage of the
heartbeat code, so we removed it.

As Horms pointed out, we WILL reimplement it, but it has been postponed
to a new cluster manager, which can implement it correctly more easily,
since it will be continuously running and not implemented as shell
scripts.
