Why wait till the end of the next year? What I proposed earlier was
'to review at the architecture level'. If folks don't agree to it then
this email drama will never
stop. Once the review starts we can decide on a common baseline to
benchmark both the stacks. I'm more than willing to test/benchmark
ESX(front-end)/SCST/LIO(back-end) combo. I'm sure there will be others
who would be willing to spend some of their time for this cause to
validate claims made by both the communities. We can then publish all
the results so that others can reproduce them.

Sure, and then we will let community choose what's best for them. And
if that means picking the best from both the worlds and coming up w/ a
unified stack then that's great!
