Will staging lose its Lustre?

Been using Lustre for years, to finally ditch it after the tons of headaches it gave it trying to keep up with the kernel and dragging Lustre behind.

Like it has been said, the staging tree has never been anything else than a poor reflection of its out-of-sync being-actively-worked-on counterpart, which itself was a pain to make work with reasonably up-to-date kernels.

I would almost say «good riddance». But it's a pity such a great product - from the HPC performances point of view - failed to make it to a kernel first class citizen.
