I don't know if i can agree - your work is completely okay to co-exist
with an ISO.  But  there is a problem here with version numbers for
GlusterFS.

GlusterFS in community versions are 3.4.x (i.e there are releases
based on minor version changes) as we did

3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.4.2 releases ... and so on.

Red Hat Storage Server version is based on point releases ie. pick a
release/standardize and then back port patches.

3.4.0.33, 3.4.0.44 .. releases and so on.

If some one spins for CentOS i am not sure how this is easy to handle
- should they pick up 3.4.x from Community releases or the source RPMS
released with every errata for Red Hat Storage?
