I just want to make it clear that alternative solutions are welcome. If there's a subset of you that want to maintain a 2.x release, you're welcome to do so - and I will give you whatever tools you need to be successful. If you'd like to maintain 3.x releases sans glusterd, I welcome that activity as well. If you succeed, we all succeed. Thanks, JM
