Slightly off-topic, but Lustre is still working (perhaps slowly) towards inclusion in mainline. The code is in much better shape compared to when the client was kicked out of staging. Of course, there's still a lot more to be done. But I'm optimistic Lustre could land in mainline someday.

There's a tracking ticket in the Lustre Jira and an update from James Simmons at LUG24 about the ongoing work for those curious.

Seems the big mistake last time was that the in tree version was more or less a fork occasionally maintained by a few people, whereas users and developers ignored it and continued with the out of tree version.

If they want to make a success of it this time, I think they will need to adopt an upstream first approach.
