This is not what he wants:

I believe Marc also mentioned somewhere (can't find that right now...) 
that the secondary node could/should be used for some 
analysis/troubleshooting tasks before it is rebooted. This would not 
work if only the primary node had a vote. It even could not be cleany 
shut down before rebooting it as the "new primary".
