For the secondary, assignable leases are in the backup state, but I  
think it makes sense to use the sum, because you're then making the  
decision based on the aggregate state of the failover pair.   If  
you're in communications-interrupted, hopefully MCLT is going to  
determine the length of the lease you give out anyway, so this is a  
non-issue in that case.
