As I have written in private mail to Krzysztof I have been burned
(slightly) several times when basing core infrastructure on non fully
open source technologies.

While MooseFS 2.0 might be more capable than LizardFS at the moment, I
seriously doubt you will be able to maintain that position with your
current business model. 

Your group did a very fine job on MooseFS, but I feel I have to move on
while migration is easy - this means upgrading to MooseFS 2.x is
something I would avoid under most circumstances.

Best regards and thanks for all your work!
