[PATCH] docs: Mark "gluster" support in QEMU as deprecated
Posted by Thomas Huth 4 weeks ago 
According to https://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=171934833215726
the GlusterFS development effectively ended. Thus mark it as deprecated
in QEMU, so we can remove it in a future release if the project does
not gain momentum again.

As a former Gluster developer/maintainer, this makes sense to me. Feel
free to add my Acked-by or equivalent signoff.

Cheers,

Shouldn't also the 'gluster' enum entry of 'BlockdevDriver'
(qapi/block-core.json) be marked as deprecated?

Thanks, that's a good idea! I'll send a v2...
