Obviously I agree ;)

I would also nominate libgfapi-python [1] and glupy [2].

Although I wouldn't expect this (although I'd certainly welcome it) is
if major breakages in GlusterFS break Puppet-Gluster, that this be a
blocker for that change, although I don't really see this being an
issue since the user --xml interface is stable.

Thanks for saving me from doing this :)

The amazing kkeithley [3]* might be helping me rpm-ify Puppet-Gluster
this week. This will serve a few use cases including the above, the
CentOS storage SIG, and maybe even RHS if they ever wanted to use
Puppet-Gluster.
