The main reason behind above warning message is that currently most of 
the development focus
happens in NFS-Ganesha than gluster nfs(only bug fixes).
The following are major plus points for NFS-Ganesha
1.) NFS-Ganesha is a different community which supports a lot of other 
fIlesystem like CEPH(cephFS / RGW), GPFS, Lustre
2.) It support different nfs protocols including v3,v4, v4.1 and pNFS 
where as gluster NFS supports only v3
3.) Can do dynamic addition/modification of exports(shares) , where in 
gluster nfs each time server requires restart
4.)It has an integrated HA solution using pacemaker & corosync for 
gluster volumes
