Yes, the list of available options is built dynamically with
glob.glob("/usr/sbin/fence_*") so adding new checks is transparent and
automatic. That in itself is a major improvement over the way it was.

A power status indicator would be pretty darn neat.
As for custom power management types, I've added "power_type" to
"USES_SELECT" in field_info.py. Will the custom types get added to the list
of choices automatically?

Yes, the way around this is to symlink your script to
/usr/sbin/fence_yourname and make sure it accepts parameters on STDIN
rather than via command line arguments and you should be fine.
There is a power status check currently, though apparently it may need
some work as even the fence_* commands don't return consistent output.
At some point, I would like to add a simple status check to the web GUI.
