Even though I've been working on it, I'm not convinced it's ready

1. there's still "TODO s3guard" in bits of the code
2. there's not been that much in terms of active play —that is, beyond 
integration tests and benchmarks
3. the db format is still stabilising and once that's out, life gets more 
complex. Example: the version marker last week, HADOOP-13876 this week, which I 
still need to review.

I just don't think it's stable enough.

Once it' merged in

-development time slows, cost increases: you need review and a +1 from a full 
committer, not a branch committer
-if any change causes a regression in the functionality of trunk, it's more of 
an issue. A regression before the merge is a detail, one on trunk, even if 
short lived, isn't welcome.

I'm happy with someone to do their own preview of a 3.0.x + s3guard, say "play 
with this and see how much performance you get", but right now, I think it 
needs a few more weeks before getting the broader review which is going to be 
needed, and everyone working on it is confident that it's going to be stable
