Here are some more points to consider:

That definitely makes sense. :)
We already have that in the RPMs, but not in the .debs though AFAIK.
* Modular GlusterFS CLI API. Today it is hard-coded.
Not so sure about this one. Allowing for dynamic additions to
the CLI (eg using the meta-data in the JSON fragment) sounds like
a feature of it's own.
Not just the CLI, don't forget we have a GUI too, with its own RESTful API.
As for the CLI, I had half imagined that each translator came with one
or two shared libs besides the translator itself, which are pluggable
extensions to gluster, glusterd, and/or xlators/mgmt/glusterd. The
retooling of gluster and glusterd to handle these seems like a fairly
large task all by itself.
