To enable few features in GlusterFS, we need latest versions of other application. We can't afford to loose few features just for supporting old versions of software.
Also, its a nice practice to upgrade packages when new release happens, as each release will have extra features, and will be more stable.
We are not going to support old versions of other packages, which are required by GlusterFS.

When we install Fedora 7, and use yum or apt to update all the libraries to the latest versions, it is still not good enough to get glusterfs running. The versions of fuse and ibverbs that were required are newer than what is available through yum or apt-get. So normally when a user wants to install glusterfs, they should be able to run "yum install glusterfs" or "apt-get install glusterfs" and it finds all the dependencies and installs them on the system. Currently glusterfs is not available. if i run "yum install fuse", and download the latest version of fuse that is available via yum or apt, it is still not new enough. i have to go to the original sources and get the versions newer than what is available through yum or apt, and build the tarballs,configure,make,make install etc.
Until the glusterfs is available through yum, if i download the tarballs, it should work with the standard versions of fuse and ibverbs that are being released as the latest public versions.
