I think the Gluster/NFS server is very useful for many users. It is
extremely easy to setup, providing access to the storage alomst
immediately.

My suggestion would be to keep Gluster/NFS, but make it optional instead
of enabled by default. I would like to see all references removed from
the GlusterD management part, and have a normal systemd service that
starts the Gluster/NFS server.

NFS-Ganesha is definitely the future, but it is not very easy to
correctly set it up can configure it.

Cheers,
Niels
