Makes sense to me.
Maybe we should mention that previously we were only considering online
nodes with CPUs assigned. Now, we can include also offline nodes with CPUs
assigned (assuming it's possible)?
Semantically speaking, since the name doesn't include "online", it seems
more logical to ignore the state of the node. And if checking the online
state is required, the user can just use node_online() within the loop.
Thanks,
