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.
