Well, AFAIR, there were plans that glusterd2 will be stable in 4.1, so we'll have to migrate to glusterd2, all future ( since 4.2) releases will support only glusterd2. Now 5.0 is available, but glusterd2 is still not ready. May be it is better to mark releases according to features, not timeline? AFAIR, "when ready" is usual policy for opensource projects, RedHat renumber this anyway for commercial version :-) Thank you!
