Andrew, I just want to throw something out there, 
since I think you're being rather harsh toward the gluster community.

I've found that the developers are very dedicated 
and very motivated to solve problems and debug the product.

However, if you're not paying them for support, 
your right to complain about quick response times 
and prioritizing YOUR specific issues diminishes 
severely.  If you felt you weren't getting proper 
responses form the gluster-users, it's likely 
that none of us had an easy answer for you, or 
that maybe no one was really interested in 
solving that problem because they may not have 
seen a parallel to their problems (such is the 
nature of open-source and community support groups).

If you need to use something in a mission 
critical production environment, for heavens sake 
PAY FOR SUPPORT!.   you can't operate mission 
critical applications on a "ask anyone around and 
hope they can help me in time" basis.

The developers are very responsive to the list, 
but they also have other work to do they get to 
take time off of work, and the one(s) who can 
solve your specific issue may not be checking the 
list every minute of every day.  (personally, I'm 
glad, cause they should be working on the 
product, not sifting around waiting for people to submit problems to them).

Again, pay fo support, you'll get dedicated 
resources to solve your problem.  don't pay and 
we as a community will be happy to help when and if we can.

my .02,
Keith
