I would like to broaden this topic, and suggest, can we have a 3 month 
cadence on something like design summits (like the update releases)?

So that we can have a focused point at which we gate* some of the 
features being done or being proposed.

Why I think this broadens this discussion, is due to the fact that, to 
have such a summit (virtual of course), we need a list of proposals, and 
a way to get something to that list, which is the current topic of 
discussion.

*gate: technical correctness and compatibility to existing stack, or 
maybe some other factors that ensures that the features are inline with 
how we want something done for Gluster
