See, my agenda was to ask next if Jeff's CloudFS had enough consistency
to back a block device emulator and thus displace Speepdog, which I see
as too ad-hoc. Now if Jeff himself prefers to package RBD (RADOS), then
this may be an admission that CloudFS is not up to it. Or perhaps he does
not like the idea for other reason. I just basically want him to
discuss the alternatives. I know he knows about them more than I do,
hence the question.
