I have some addit= ional questions: - Is your demo (the slides say there is a demo :) from ApacheCon available = for replay anywhere on the Internet? - Will your work enable support for VSAN 5.5 as well as 6.x? - If the merge takes longer than you think, are you able to offer your work= directly to those who want to do some advance testing of this? - What are the longer terms plans on turning this into managed storage? Is= it possible and "just" needs coding, or is there a technical showstopper h= ere?
