Thanks!

The changes look good to me.

Just to link these here, there were two community forum posts [0] and
[1], which added some more viewpoints how HA groups are/were used and
what could still be improved for the HA rules.

The pain points were primarily that users could add/remove HA resources
to/from HA groups directly through the VM/CT in the web interface under
More > Manage HA and then select the assigned HA group there, instead of
going to the Datacenter > HA tab.

For HA node affinity rules, the former isn't possible anymore and the
main workflow is to add the HA resources and then add them to a node
affinity rule in bulk there. I'm not sure how we could improve that yet.
