The biggest problem I have with load_ocfs2 is my modutilites that come
with Fedora can not find ocfs2.ko unless I use modprobe (and load_ocfs2
uses insmod.)

Since insmod should really work, this isn't ocfs2's fault.  Instead of
tweaking load_ocfs2, I just added a line to my /etc/modprobe.conf like:

options ocfs2 node_name=localhost.localdomain debug_context=0xffffffff debug_level=0xffff ip_address=10.10.212.108 cs=1832 guid=5BE3240A7F450F98E94500D0B7B81CA2 comm_voting=1 ip_port_v2=7001

Which brings up an observation... the ocfs RPM spec file could configure
the users /etc/modules.conf|/etc/modprobe.conf and remove the need for
/etc/ocfs.conf.
