Raising this again since we are in a bit of a hurry for this to be changed.
this change already missed 4.3.0 Alpha, it would be nice to get it in by
beta release.
I think we can keep gluster-3.12 on the CentOS mirrors, but without
centos-release-gluster312 in CentOS Extras?
If there is a demand for NFS, then integrating NFS-Ganesha is your best
option. But this is not a drop-in replacement and will need some work.
In case there is no need for NFS, then it will be easier to move to a
FUSE mount or libgfapi application.
