I am laughing at this because one of the reasons why things like gluster and openstack are no longer available in EPEL was because they were moving too fast for users and we were getting complaints about those package changes being broken.--
I don't remember anyone complaining, per se, about this with GlusterFS.
What I do remember is that, independent of any complaints there may or may not have been, I retired GlusterFS in EPEL when Red Hat started shipping GlusterFS as a product, because EPEL policy stipulated that we could not ship packages that are/were in RHEL.
One issue we did have in EPEL was the inability to concurrently ship two or more major versions of GlusterFS for each of the actively maintained branches of GlusterFS; something that the CentOS Storage SIG does allow us to do. I.e. some people who were using, e.g., GlusterFS 3.4.x in production on RHEL/CentOS did not want to be forced to update their systems to GlusterFS 3.5.x, and then later on GlusterFS 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x, and so on.
