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.
