One issue with ceph is that I'm not sure it has any users at all.
The mailing list seems to be pretty much dead?
On a philosophical area I agree that network file systems are
definitely an area that could need some more improvements.

OT, but I took a look at some Lustre srpm a few months ago and it
didn't seem to still require all the horrible VFS patches that the
older versions were plagued with (or perhaps I missed them). Because
it definitely seems to have a large real world user base perhaps it
would be something for staging at least these days?
