I'll chime in for the Gluster repositories from the Storage SIG. The
Ceph repositories are mostly maintained by others, and I dont know which
are actively used.

These repositories still get regulary updates:

storage/x86_64/gluster-3.10
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.12
storage/x86_64/gluster-4.0

These versions are EOL and can be removed:

storage/x86_64/gluster-3.6
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.7
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.8
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.9
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.13

With the removal of the repositories, the matching
centos-release-gluster36 packages should get dropped from CentOS Extras
as well.

Thanks!
