Hi,

Thank you for your kind words about MooseFS's stability - we do our best.

The open source version is still supported and we don't plan to change 
that. We will be releasing version 3.0.116 soon.
We also still plan to release version 4 on an open source licence, but 
we cannot commit to any timeframe. Once it is released, we will announce 
end of support time for version 3, but we will give our users ample time 
to migrate.


Regards,
