Is it possible for us to remove the centos-release-gluster312 package
from CentOS Extras, but keep the gluster-3.12 repository available for
you to consume with oVirt 4.2? That would prevent users from installing
an unmaintained version, but you can still download the packages.

We also forcefully disable the unmaintained repositories (as they will
get deleted later), but I can wait with that if it helps. This is done
through
https://github.com/CentOS-Storage-SIG/centos-release-gluster-legacy in
case you're interested.

So, what I need from you, is an estimation of dates of when the
following actions can be done:

1. delete centos-release-gluster312 from CentOS Extras
2. remove the gluster-3.12 repository from the mirrors
3. update centos-release-gluster-legacy with Gluster 3.12 deprecation

Thanks,
Niels
