On one hand I like oVirt, I think you guys have done a good job with this, and it is free software so I don't want to complain. But on the other hand, if you release a major/stable release (ie: oVirt 3.2), but it relies on a major/critical component (clustering filesystem server) that is in alpha, not even beta, but alpha prerelease form, you really should be up front and communicative about this. My searches turned up nothing except an offhand statement from a GlusterFS developer, nothing from the oVirt team until now. It is not acceptable to expect people to run something as critical as a cluster filesystem server in alpha form on anything short of a development test setup. Are any other components of oVirt 3.2 dependent on non-stable general release packages? What is the latest release of oVirt considered to be stable and considered safe for use on production systems?
