Your paragraph on defining "smallfiles" was particularly interesting, as I hadn't heard it expressed so clearly before. One point that I would add (if in fact it is even legitimate) -- At the bottom you list all sorts of individual changes. Is there an active project somewhere to somehow provide GNU-like tools (or patches to existing GNU tools) to take advantage of the parallelism now available in distributed systems? I'm thinking of updates to ls and friends, for example. I'm not sure how easy this is, and I don't think it's Gluster specific, but if nobody is spearheading the project, I think it's a worthy goal to get someone looking at.
