Not anymore. Back when we had support we didn't get much useful 
answers to our support cases, they entered into bugzilla and if we 
were lucky we got some kind of response. And given that we didn't have 
lustre in production (partly due to hardware issues, so that's not 
entirely due to lustre) we didn't see any reason to continue paying 
for support.

If we get to the point that lustre 1.6 (or 1.8, or...) seems to be 
production ready we might use it. If we use it we might purchase 
support again.

But, support or not this doesn't answer the fundamental issue: It's a 
long time between lustre releases, a fact that hasn't changed since 
the public CVS access was revoked.
