I am glad you think so and it works for you. But I'd also guess that you put more than a partial FTE to the project. I got attracted via the HCI angle they started pushing as a result of Nutanix creating a bit of a stir. The ability to use discarded production boxes for a lab with the flexibility of just adding boxes as they were released and discarding them as they died eventually, was what I had in mind for oVirt. The inherent flexibility of Gluster would seen to support that, KVM's live-migration and the fundamental design of the management engine and the VDSM agents, fit, too. Then come the details... and they fall quite short of that vision. I thought I had found another golden nugget like OpenVZ, but HCI is still more of a hack for three nodes without a natural n+1 path beyond, when Gluster was supposed to outscale Lustre.
