I think that this is unhelpful for two reasons:
1. Bob complains about ovirt-3.3, and you patch master.
2. We cannot take your patch to master since we already have code that
   expects glusterfs>=3.4.1 (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/10200).

I believe that taking http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/21794/ into
ovirt-release would fix Bob's issues.
