skipping nodes in the "mix-" state

[brodylines]

The node-mark-offline script skips nodes in the "mix-" state with the error: State "mix-" not yet handled; ignoring.

"mix-" seems to be a valid state indicating that a node is mixed and is "planned by the backfill scheduler for a higher priority job". Is there a reason that nodes in this state are being skipped?

The responsible code appears to be:

case "$STATUS" in
    	*'@'*|*'#'*|boot*|*-*|plnd*)
    	# These states aren't handled yet.
    	echo "$0:  State "$STATUS" not yet handled; ignoring."
    	exit 0

As far as I can tell all the states being skipped are related to nodes being configured or rebooted or powering on/off except *-*. There are other states related to node power that include underscore in the state name; power_down, power_up, pow_dn, pow_up. Should the case statement be *_* instead of *-*?

I can remove *-* from the case statement. Just wanted to see if there was a specific reason that it was included to begin with.
