Many thanks Aravinda! I've spoken with Jiffin (one of the 3.12 release
managers) about this as well now. I will revert the change in the
packaging for the CentOS Storage SIG, both the code and the dependency.

If a good alternative comes up, and the feature is critical to be in
3.12, we can do an update of the RPMs or wait for 3.12.4+.
