[Gluster-devel] Release 4.0: Making it happen!

[Raghavendra G]

https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/397

The patch has been in discussion for quite some time. Thanks to efforts
from Amar, its good to be merged. I've proposed it for 4.0 for now. If the
branching is done or if you feel its not fit for 4.0 branch, please feel
free to change the milestone to appropriate version (maybe 4.1?)
