I understand there are many considerations about when to merge something
new, but in general would like to see the Ceph client merged sometime
soon.

In my view, there is a wide range of applications for which Ceph has
the potential to be significantly more efficient than the other
distributed file systems that I know about.

Ceph has a solid architecture and a small but strong dev team. I
believe that the project is now at a point where wider-scale testing
can greatly accelerate progress toward production-level usability.
Having the client in mainline will help reduce barriers to such
testing.
