In fact, both are going to happen soon!

1. The CTR xlator should move to glusterfs-server.

2. Also the client-side cluster/tier xlator that uses libgfdb will only
   load libgfdb when it is a client doing promotion/demotion. Normal
   clients do not require libgfdb, it will be server-side only. This
   patch addresses that: http://review.gluster.org/9987
